Maud Diver was an English novelist in British India who authored novels, short stories, memoirs, and journalistic pieces about Indian issues and Englishmen in India. Diver was born Katherine Helen Maud Marshall in Murree, Pakistan, where her father, Charles Henry Tilson Marshall, was a British Indian Army officer. She grew up in India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), but completed her schooling in England. She maintained a lifetime friendship with Rudyard Kipling's sister, Trix Fleming. Diver married Thomas Diver (1860-1941), an officer of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, in 1896. They settled in England and had a son named Cyril (1892-1962). Maud Diver released her debut novel, Captain Desmond, VC, in 1907. This and several succeeding novels were successful and appeared on popular bestseller lists at the time. She specialised in the then-popular imperial romance genre. However, unlike her contemporary, Kipling, Diver has been forgotten by subsequent generations. Her novels have recently piqued the curiosity of researchers studying Anglo-Indian culture. Her works attempted to teach Englishmen how to live in British India, and depicted mixed marriages (for example, in Lilamani and its sequels) between Indians and English as a positive way of bringing East and West together.
