Kate Furnivall

    1 januari 1950

    Kate Furnivall onderzoekt de blijvende waarde van innerlijke gedachten en emoties, geïnspireerd door haar eigen opvoeding en het buitengewone leven van haar moeder. Haar moeder, wier jeugd zich uitstrekte over Rusland, China en India, gaf haar inzicht in de vluchtigheid van de wereld en het diepe belang van wat zich in iemands geest en hart bevindt. Na haar studie Engels en haar werk in de uitgeverij en reclame, leverden Furnivalls uitgebreide reizen onschatbare inzichten op in diverse culturen. Deze ervaringen hebben haar schrijven diepgaand beïnvloed, met name een roman geïnspireerd op het verhaal van haar moeder, die fictieve elementen gebruikt om de unieke omstandigheden van Wit-Russische vluchtelingen in China weer te geven.
