Notes

  • Epigraph: Whence came I and on what wings that it should take me so long, humiliated and exiled to accept that I am myself. (Collette, The Vagabond).
  • The author's lengthy acknowledgements state in part : This is a work of fiction influence by real lives. It also quotes Vita Sackvill West's statement to Virginia Woolf : No character in fiction is ever wholly fictitious.
