About the author
Born Caroline Emily Sharp around 1844, she became known in print as Mrs. Lovett Cameron. She was an English novelist who published extensively in the late Victorian period, producing more than fourteen three-volume novels as well as shorter fiction.
Her stories were especially associated with personal relationships, family pressures, and the emotional entanglements of middle- and upper-class life. She was also connected to the explorer Verney Lovett Cameron through marriage, and her work appeared widely enough to remain traceable today through library collections, reference works, and public-domain editions.
She died in 1921. Though not as famous now as some of her contemporaries, her fiction remains part of the rich world of 19th-century popular writing and is still of interest to readers who enjoy Victorian domestic and sensation-style novels.
