Kate Furnivall

    January 1, 1950

    Kate Furnivall explores the enduring value of inner thoughts and emotions, drawing inspiration from her own upbringing and her mother's extraordinary life. Her mother, whose childhood spanned Russia, China, and India, instilled in her an understanding of the world's volatility and the profound significance of what resides within one's mind and heart. After studying English and working in publishing and advertising, Furnivall's extensive travels provided invaluable insights into diverse cultures. These experiences deeply informed her writing, particularly a novel inspired by her mother's story, which uses fictional elements to depict the unique circumstances of White Russian refugees in China.
