Ivy Low Litvinov

Early in 1916 Ivy Low married Maxim Litvinov,[2] who at the time was a revolutionary exile living in London.

Apart from brief stays abroad as part of her husband's diplomatic service, she lived in the Soviet Union for most of her adult life before moving permanently to Hove, England in 1972, where she died in 1977.

"[4][5] Low's grandfather Maximilian Loewe emigrated from Hungary to England after the unsuccessful revolution of 1848.

Another uncle, Sir Maurice Low, was a journalist and Washington correspondent for British newspapers.

Low wrote the novels Growing Pains in 1913 and The Questing Beast in 1914, as well as His Master’s Voice: a Detective Story in 1930.
