Ethel M. Dell, a prolific British author, crafted over 30 romance novels and numerous short stories between 1911 and 1939. Her works often explore themes of love and desire, set against the backdrop of the British Raj and colonial settings. Dell's writing was notable for its passionate tone, sometimes deemed overly sexual, prompting her cousins to keep count of her frequent use of evocative terms. Born in Streatham to a middle-class family, her early storytelling paved the way for her successful literary career.
