“A haunting
debut novel…mesmerizing.”
-The New York Times
A searing portrait of three people brought together in the final days before the fall of Saigon during the Vietnam War, The Lotus Eaters depicts a time and a place when the events of war and politics eclipsed everything but the hope of love. Yet above all else, The Lotus Eaters is exactly that: a love story. There is a female American photographer who has reached tremendous heights of acclaim for her gutsy photographs covering the war. But she is at war herself, grappling with feelings for a Vietnamese photojournalist and an American reporter who, each in his own way, is as addicted to the narcotic of violence as to his love for the American photographer. This is Tatjana Soli’s debut novel; she lives in Orange County, California.
