Hi Sigrun and Mary Anne. Excellent thoughtful answers. Still no sign of a four-good-parent romance. It seems to be a very rare bird.
I do like Mary Anne's theory that the loss of the parent-child bond intensifies the need for love. Works for me (at least, as you say, in books)

Sally: it's really hard, isn't it?
Good point about the title, Lavinia. Also, perhaps the existence of a powerful father figure can make the hero seem weaker.
Vicky. I'm so glad you persevered. It's so true that literature is full of orphans. Imagine Dickens if everyone had parents?
