This is, above all, a love story: one subtle enough to reveal the many ways in which love can be expressed throughout a lifetime.
This is the story of Benjamin, who fled his native Poland during the Nazi occupation, aiming to fulfil his fathers 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. Bem Le Hunte is, quite simply, a wonderful novelist. Drawing on her own rich background in India and the West, she weaves a dazzling story that carries the scent of spices, and the true sense of other lives. There, Where the Pepper Grows is set amid the gathering darkness of wartime Poland, and the almost unbearable brightness of Calcutta, where a group of Jewish refugees finds an unlikely haven.| Title: | The re, Where The Pepper Grows | Publisher: | HarperCollins |
