But to his son Andrew, who had spent his entire boyhood longing for the attention and approval of an emotionally distant father, he was an incomprehensible paradox: a lifelong loner, who was now sunning himself in the spotlight of the nation’s press; a hero to millions, who seemed to have no time for his own son.

Ce n'est pas faux : supporter l'intensité du très haut niveau n'est pas à la portée de tous, il faut une sacrée dose d'égo, de volonté, de courage pour y prétendre.
