Bem Le Hunte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bem Le Hunte, (b. 1964 in Calcutta, India) is an author who has published internationally. She grew up in India and London, studied anthropology at Cambridge University and worked as a lecturer and copywriter before publishing her first work of fiction.
Her first great success was “The Seduction of Silence,” published by HarperCollins in USA and Australia and by Penguin Group in India. The title was translated into Polish with the new title, “Kusace Wolanie Ciszy” by Kameleon. The title follows the story of an Indian family and how it changed through love and loss over a period of about a hundred years, in prose that was described by Geraldine Brooks as ‘vivid and arresting,’ and as ‘ample and fascinating’ by Thomas Keneally.
Her second acclaimed title was "There, Where the Pepper Grows" that was published by HarperCollins internationally. It is a tale about a Polish Jewish family that ends up in Calcutta whilst in transit to Palestine during the Second World War.
