註釋
Charles Duff grew up in many worlds at once. Like an enfilade, one led into another, but each was distinct and self-contained. At his family s country house, Vaynol, Royalty mingled with eccentric relations and glamorous socialites, supported by a colourful ensemble cast of cooks, nannies and butlers. In London, Charley met his father s boyfriends and his mother s lesbian lovers, as well as leading artists, musicians and directors. Through the theatre, he discovered his vocation in academia and teaching. But these worlds did not co-exist in harmony. As the estate faced ruin and his parents marriage fell apart, Charley's relationship with his family festered. He was known to be adopted, and speculation about his identity fanned rumours that many still believe today.
