Mackenzie was known for her own talent on the piano, and during her time on Capri she had an affair with the Italian pianist Renata Borgatti.[5][6] At times, Mackenzie and her husband lived apart. From 1920, Compton Mackenzie was tenant of the Channel Islands of Herm and Jethou. During this time D. H. Lawrence dined with Faith in Capri. She was the inspiration behind the story 'Two Blue Birds', and was unhappy that he had written such a "monstrous perversion of facts" based on their dinner conversation.[7] From 1930, the Mackenzies lived on the Scottish island Eilean Aigas, and it is from this period onwards that Mackenzie began to write.[8] She began with historical biographies in the early 1930s.[9] In 1933, the Mackenzies relocated to Barra, where they built a house named 'Suidheachan' (the sitting-down place).[10] She reportedly had a "passion for furnishing new houses" that fortunately matched her husband's passion for acquiring new islands.[8] By the late 1930s, Mackenzie became best known for volumes of memoirs describing her life in places such as Capri, Paris, Rome, Milan, Guernsey and Barra.[8][11] By the mid 1940s, the Mackenzies were no longer living on islands and had bought Denchworth Manor near Wantage.[4] In 1950, Mackenzie bought a stuffed tabby cat at Portobello Market that was purported to be Crimean Tom, the famous survivor of the war in Sebastopol.[12] It is now in the National Army Museum. A portrait of Lady Mackenzie from November 1955 is held by the National Portrait Gallery.[13] Faith Compton Mackenzie died on 9 July 1960.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Mackenzie, Lady; (Faith Compton Mackenzie)|url=https://doi.org/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.U240168|website=Who's Who and Who Was Who|publisher=Oxford University Press|accessdate=20 March 2018|doi=10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.u240168}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mackenzie, Faith Compton}}2. ^{{cite book |last1=Compton Mackenzie |first1=Faith |title=As Much as I Dare |date=1938 |publisher=Collins |location=Pall Mall, London |pages=122–164, 167}} 3. ^Warwick Goild, "Gyles, Margaret Alethea (1868–1949)" in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (Oxford University Press, 2004) 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=Marriages: 40th Anniversary|accessdate=|work=The Times|date=30 November 1945|language=en}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Davenport|first1=John|title=Lady Mackenzie|work=The Times|date=12 July 1960}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Ryersson|first1=Scot D.|last2=Yaccario|first2=Michael Orlando|title=Infinite variety: the life and legend of the Marchesa Casati|date=2000|publisher=Pimlico|location=London|isbn=0712667512|page=99}} 7. ^{{cite book|last1=Lawrence|first1=D.
