A brand new edition of the classic love story by forgotten celebrity Irish author, Katherine Cecil Thurston. The book is set in Waterford, in turn-of-the-century Ireland, and was first published in 1908. Now re-issued by Manderley Press, with an introduction by Megan Nolan and a specially commissioned front cover by Kathi Burke. Excerpt from The Fly on the Wheel It was an April morning in the Irish town of Waterford; beyond the suburbs, the grass lay thick and green upon the country-side in the virgin freshness of the springs and the chestnuts glinted with the delicate sheen of bursting leaves; but in the streets the dust of March was whirling to the April breeze, powdering the narrow byways with a cloak of grey, eddying in a mad dance along the open spaces. Portion of this dusty, characteristic, sparsely populated town is dedicated to business - the business of the shops; a second and more important portion of it is given over to the quays, from whence a constant traffic is carried on with the hereditary enemy, England; while a third part, that holds itself aloof from commerce, is to be reckoned as half residential, half professional.
