About the Book


the new novel from the author of the acclaimed the Seduction of Silence We are sailing down the Hoogly River, inland towards Calcutta. I am a younger man, and I travel with a group of Polish Jewish refugees. Our lives are cheap and our pockets are empty ... I have two women in my life, and they are both on the same boat: one, a Catholic, whom I have loved since I was a little boy, and another, who is Jewish, whom I have married. I do not know what the future will hold for any of us. I do not know when we will be able to stop wandering ... this is the story of Benjamin, who fled his native Poland during the Nazi occupation, aiming to fulfil his father's long-held dream of settling in Palestine. But along the way he and his fellow-survivors are stranded in Calcutta, and somehow it becomes inevitable that he will stay ... there, Where the Pepper Grows is the moving story of a family set against the drama of real historical events. It brings East and West together in an unforgettable novel of a search for refuge, and a passionate plea for tolerance.

About the Author :
Bem Le Hunte is as cross-cultural as her novel: she was born in India to an Indian mother and English father, grew up in England and, after emigrating to Australia ten years ago, is now an Australian by choice. Her family was the ABC's choice for the 'Sylvania Waters' real-life TV drama, but the BBC thought differently. An anthropologist turned advertising copywriter, Bem has also worked in the music industry and for Indian Television before turning her hand to fiction. While pregnant with her second child, Bem left Sydney for the foothills of the Himalayas to write. A large selection of her encounters are scattered through the novel, as are stories from her own family. Many of the more bizarre and mystical events actually occurred ' in the land of sages, eunuchs, sacred animals and magic, anything can happen.
