Margaret Rumer Godden was een gevierde auteur wiens literaire werk diep werd beïnvloed door haar vormende jaren in India. Haar uitgebreide oeuvre omvat romans, poëzie, toneelstukken, biografieën en kinderboeken, die vaak tegen de levendige achtergrond van India spelen. Ze bezat een scherp inzicht in de menselijke conditie en verkende complexe relaties en innerlijke levens met lyrische proza. Goddens onderscheidende stem bracht rijke decors en veelzijdige personages tot leven en bood lezers een boeiend inkijkje in diverse werelden.
