Katherine Helen Maud Marshall Diver (1867-1954) was an English novelist born at Murree, a hill station
in the Himalayas. After being educated in England, she returned to India, where she met and married a
professional soldier. Her love for India would form the basis of the more than two dozen volumes of fiction
and non-fiction that she wrote about that country. The present work tells the story of an English baron and
his Rajput wife, during the time of the Lahore outbreak, in April 1919. See Gupta, India in English
Fiction, No. 632 and NCBEL III, 563.
