Goodreads asked Christopher New:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Christopher New Actually I've never thought about this before. But now that you ask me, I'm afraid I have to say my current favorite fictional couple are the ones I'm working on now - Dimitri Johnston and his Chinese wife, Mila. They feature in two books of my 'China Coast Trilogy' and will appear for the last time in the book I am writing now. So we get to follow them at different periods of their lives from young to middle to old age. They're my favorites just because they're occupying my imagination right now - they are very different yet complementary and sympathetic characters representing two worlds, the European and the Chinese. Ask me the same question a year from now and I'll almost certainly have a different answer. That's the way with favorites!
