For Father’s Day, we choose our favourite fictional ones…
Rob: I thought I’d go with something slightly different with a favourite character who, as a father, sets in motion a chain of events with vast repercussions. Without saying too much, I quickly became very attached to Ned Stark from A Game of Thrones, unlike some others in the book…
Kate: Kurt Wallander isn’t perfect. He’s separated from his wife, feels belittled by his dad and rarely speaks to his daughter… But actually, he’s a caring, loving father who does his best and is all too aware of his faults. I love the way that his relationship with his daughter Linda changes and develops over Mankell’s series of fantastic police procedural novels.
