“A lost classic of Irish fiction.” Megan Nolan, author of Ordinary Human Failings
The Fly on the Wheel was an instant bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic when it was first published in 1908. Re-issued in a beautifully designed gift hardback edition, the novel is the poignant story of the passionate and headstrong Isabel Costello’s entrance into the small Irish town of Waterford.
With a nod to the works of Tolstoy and the Brontes, The Fly on the Wheel is a moving depiction of the moral and psychological restrictions placed on women at the turn of the century. The sparkling introduction by Megan Nolan sets the themes of illicit love, toxic relationships and feminist desires in a modern context.
