Bem Le Hunte was born in Calcutta in 1964 to an Indian mother and English father. She moved to England as a young girl and was educated at the same school as Saakshi, one of the novel's characters. She started writing The Seduction of Silence during an extended period of time in the Himalayas and Delhi, while she was pregnant with her second child. Much of this book comes from her own exploration of Silence and a long term fascination with Indian mysticism and universal laws.
