No, we don't compare our children, but I can see that one can be justified in comparing what we gifted the world entirely through our imaginations (our books).

I've never asked myself if I have a favourite book amongs those I've written and now I feel guilty even thinking of it (just like your analogy of a favourite child).

It's a lovely, moving story. As a debut novelist I'm very grateful for all your advice, enthusiasm and support even when you had so many other things to deal with.
