- Dorothy Lambert was born Alicia Dorothea Irwin in County Cork, Ireland. She grew up at Roskeen, her family's Georgian country house near Mallow.
In 1906, she married Eric Lambert, a solicitor. Soon after their marriage, the couple sailed to Bombay, India, where their daughter was born. Dorothy returned to Cork for the birth in 1913 of their son, who only lived for a few months. The Lamberts were both back in India at the outbreak of World War I, during which Eric served in the army. After the war, they moved to England, where Eric became a partner in a firm of Dover solicitors.
The family lived in Shepherdswell, where Dorothy and her family immersed themselves in the social and cultural life of the village. This included putting on numerous theatrical entertainments, including some plays written by Dorothy herself.
Her novel-writing career began at age 43, and ultimately included 27 books, the last published in 1953. Many of them were romance novels that incorporated humor, such as Much Dithering (1938).
