Extraordinary women : theme and variations
Mackenzie, Compton, 1883-1972
Extraordinary women : theme and variations / Compton Mackenzie ; new introduction by Andro Linklater - 391 pages
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.
