About Kate Furnivall
Kate Furnivall didn’t set out to be a writer; it sort of grabbed her by the throat when she discovered the story of her grandmother—a White Russian refugee who fled from the Bolsheviks down into China. That extraordinary tale inspired her first book, The Russian Concubine. From then on, she was hooked. Furnivall is now the New York Times bestselling author of more than ten novels, among them The White Pearl and The Italian Wife. Her books have been translated into more than twenty languages.
