Kate Furnivall esplora il valore duraturo dei pensieri e delle emozioni interiori, ispirata dalla sua educazione e dalla vita straordinaria di sua madre. Sua madre, la cui infanzia si estese tra Russia, Cina e India, le trasmise una comprensione della volatilità del mondo e della profonda importanza di ciò che risiede nella mente e nel cuore. Dopo aver studiato inglese e aver lavorato nell'editoria e nella pubblicità, gli estesi viaggi di Furnivall le hanno fornito preziose intuizioni su diverse culture. Queste esperienze hanno profondamente influenzato la sua scrittura, in particolare un romanzo ispirato alla storia di sua madre, che utilizza elementi di finzione per rappresentare le circostanze uniche dei rifugiati russi bianchi in Cina.
