KATHERINE FRANK’s most recent biography, A Passage to Egypt: The Life of Lucie Duff Gordon, earned a rave front-page review in the New York Times Book Review, which called it "a masterpiece." Frank is also the author of A Voyager Out, a life of Mary Kingsley, and A Chainless Soul, a life of Emily Brontë, which was hailed as "a near perfect work" (New York Daily News). Her work on Indira involved six years of extensive travel and research.
