'''Christine de Marquetiere Goutiere Weston''' (31 August 1903 – 4 May 1989)<ref>''Massachusetts, State and Federal Naturalization Records, 1798–1950''</ref> was an India-born American fiction writer.

She was born in [[Unnao]], now in [[Uttar Pradesh]], British India, the daughter of George Henry Goutière, a British [[indigo]] planter of French descent, and Alice Luard Wintle, also born in British India. In 1923 she married American [[Businessperson|businessman]] Robert Weston, and moved with him to the United States, where she began a writing career.

Weston's second novel, ''The Devil's Foot'' (1942), was described by [[Dawn Powell]] as handling "an American story with the dexterity and subtlety of [[Henry James]]." ''Indigo'' (1943), set in India, is generally considered her best work and made her reputation as a [[psychological novel]]ist. ''The Dark Wood'' (1946) also received good reviews and the rights were bought by [[Twentieth-Century Fox]]. The film was cast in 1946 with [[Maureen O'Hara]] and [[Tyrone Power]] in the lead roles, and [[Otto Preminger]] directing, but was never produced.

Weston also wrote ''The World is a Bridge'' (1950) and two [[non-fiction]] books about [[Ceylon]] and [[Afghanistan]]. In total she produced 10 novels, over 30 short stories (mostly for [[New York City]] magazines), 2 non-fiction books, and [[Bhimsa, the Dancing Bear]] (1945),<ref>{{cite book |title=Bhimsa, the dancing bear|publisher=OCLC |oclc = 1497822}}</ref> a 1946 [[Newbery Honor]] [[children's book]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/newberymedal/newberyhonors/newberymedal |website=www.ala.org |title=Newbery Medal and Honor Books, 1922-Present |publisher=American Library Association |access-date=23 July 2015 }}</ref>

Weston divorced her husband in 1951 but later remarried. At the time of the divorce they were living in [[Castine, Maine]], and she wrote some of her later fiction about [[New England]]. She spent the later part of her life in [[Bangor, Maine]].

Weston won a [[Guggenheim Fellowship]] in 1940.
