Book excerpt: It's 1943 and the war has brought rationing to the Hebridean islands of Great and Little Todday. When food is in short supply, it is bad enough, but when the whisky runs out, it looks like the end of the world. Morale is at rock bottom. George Campbell needs a wee dram to give him the courage to stand up to his mother and marry Catriona. The priest, the doctor and, of course, the landlord at the inn are all having a very thin time of it. There's no conversation, no jolity, no fun - until a shipwreck off the coast brings a piece of extraordinary good fortune...

Book excerpt: In this uproariously funny story, the setting is the enchanting Hebridean islands of Great Todday and Little Todday, in which the inhabitants are more concerned with the replenishment of their supplies of whisky than with the defence of the Islands against the enemy. All our old friends - Sergeant-Major Odd and his charming Peggy (whom he successfully carries off), Captain Waggett, Father Macalister, the Macroons and the MacRuries - are here again, and their activities in connection with the wreck of the S.S. Cabinet Minister, loaded to the gunwales with whisky for America, give full scope to Compton Mackenzie's hilarious wit.

Download or read book Vestal Fire written by Compton Mackenzie and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2009-05-21 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a short time before the First World War, Compton Mackenzie lived on Capri, 'island of pleasure' as it has been called. The stay was fruitful, resulting in two 'romans a clefs', Vestal Fire and Extraordinary Women, published in 1927 and 1928 respectively. These see Compton Mackenzie at his satirical best. Both are reissued in Faber Finds. The island of Capri, in the early twentieth-century, was a remarkably tolerant place providing a haven in particular for those with the sort of sexual appetites that were banned elsewhere. Homosexuals, both male and female, retreated to Capri and many were to find themselves appearing in fictional guise in Compton Mackenzie's two novels. Narrative drive is not what you will find here, instead there is delicious and wicked social comedy that exuberantly charts the endless feuds and machinations.
