Author Compton Mackenzie was born in West Hartlepool, England on January 17, 1883. He studied law at Magdalen College in Oxford, but stopped in 1907 to focus on his writing career. He served with British Intelligence during World War I and later published four books about his experiences during this time.
La dimora che prendeva il nome di Villa Solitaria (ma conosciuta da tutti come casa Mackenzie), è stata costruita da Compton Mackenzie a partire dal 1918 e successivamente soggetta a un lungo restauro durato circa 10 anni a opera dell’Associazione “Amici di Cetrella” (che ne possiede il comodato d’uso), per essere finalmente riaperta al pubblico nel 2005.

Compton Mackenzie. 3.44. 34 ratings5 reviews. Jenny Pearl, a dancer, falls in love with Maurice Avery, a young dilettante who leaves her when she refuses to become his mistress. Despairingly, she falls into a loveless marriage with Trewhella, a Cornish farmer who becomes insanely jealous when Avery reappears on the scene.
Born, slightly embarrassingly, in West Hartlepool, Compton was the eldest son of the writers Edward Compton and Virginia Bateman. He resumed the family name of Mackenzie to emphasise his Scottish heritage. He graduated with a degree in Modern History at Oxford (1904), studied for the law, but soon found this dull work and began writing.
