My favorite fictional couple? Probably Yuri Zhivago and Lara in DR. ZHIVAGO. I'm fascinated by second-time-around love stories, and this is a great one. (There's a Frank Sinatra song about 2nd-time-around romances, and Jimmy Webb wrote about a dozen on that subject). And it's a great book, a more sweeping story than they were able to put into the film.
If I might add a 2nd choice, it would be John McCabe and Mrs. Miller in Edmund Naughton's novel MCCABE, which became the basis for the Robert Altman film MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER -- a couple of people living on the edge, a gambler on his last chance and a woman running a whorehouse.
Hmmm. Julie Christie stars in both of the film versions.

One last question, at the end of the book when Jupiter comes back, did Charlie and Harley have anything to do with that? Did Charlie share Harley's powers and "wish" her to come back in his dream? Thanks again for writing a great book. I'm off to read another book about the circus. Linda
