Autorenporträt
Irish author Katherine Cecil Thurston, who lived from 18 April 1874 to 5 September 1911, is well known for her two political thrillers. At Wood's Gift on Blackrock Road, the family home, she had a private education. Five weeks after her father passed away, on February 16, 1901, she wed the author Ernest Temple Thurston (1879-1933). On the basis of his infidelity and desertion, they divorced in 1910 after separating in 1907. American and British readers like Katherine Thurston's books. Her most well-known piece was a political suspense novel called John Chilcote, M.P. (also known as The Masquerader), which was released in 1904 and spent two years on the New York Times bestseller list. Her illicit love stories The Fly on the Wheel, published in 1908, was hailed as a "lost gem of Irish fiction" in 2022. An epileptic, Thurston's career was cut short at the age of 37 when she was found dead in her hotel room in Cork. The official enquiry gave the cause of death as asphyxia as result of a seizure. The story of her final years and her relations with Bulkeley Gavin are the subject of a published thesis by C. M. Copeland.
