Caine enjoyed exceptional fame throughout his lifetime. He published fifteen novels on infidelity, divorce, domestic abuse, illegitimacy, infanticide, religious prejudice, and women's rights, becoming a worldwide literary celebrity and selling 10 million copies.

Caine was born in Runcorn to a Manx father and a Cumbrian mother, but grew up in Liverpool. Caine received architectural draughtsman training after completing four years in school. He spent his boyhood holidays with family in the Isle of Man. At the age of seventeen, he spent a year as a schoolmaster in Maughold. After that, he returned to Liverpool and began a career in journalism, eventually becoming a leader writer for the Liverpool Mercury. As a lecturer and theatre critic, he formed a network of prominent literary contacts who impacted him.
