Katherine Cecil Thurston - Irish Diary on forgotten Irish writer

Katherine Cecil Thurston (1875-1911) was a popular novelist in Ireland, Britain and the United States of America at the start of the 1900s. She wrote about themes that affected ordinary people. I have just written an Irish Diary about her in the Irish Times newspaper. Read it here

I know that one of her books, The Fly on the Wheel, was republished in recent times by Manderley Press, but sadly apart from that, Katherine Thurston seems to have been largely forgotten. Let us hope that her name is remembered by some and that her books gain a new audience.
