Bøker av Compton Mackenzie

Chester Royde, an American millionaire, travels to Scotland with his new bride Carrie and sister Myrtle, to find out more about Carrie's Scottish ancestry.

But Marsac's vice is more shocking than anyone expected, and when the rumours start to fly, the island community comes close to breaking apart. Compton Mackenzie set Vestal Fire, first published 1927, on the island of Capri (fictionalised as Sirene), where he had lived while finishing Sinister Street in 1913-14.
