Praise for Tatjana Soli
"If you have wondered what it’s like to be a combat photographer and what kind of toll such brutal work exacts on the soul, you must read THE LOTUS EATERS, Tatjana Soli’s beautiful and harrowing new novel. Its characters are unforgettable, as real as the historical events in which they’re enmeshed."
- Richard Russo, author of THAT OLD CAPE MAGIC,
BRIDGE OF SIGHS, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning
EMPIRE FALLS
"Set amid the twin infernos of Cambodia and Vietnam in the early 1970s, THE LOTUS EATERS draws the reader into a haunting world of war, betrayal, courage, obsession, and love. Tatjana Soli's spare, lucid prose infuses this novel with a dramatic clarity that makes us eyewitnesses to the collapse of two civilizations. More than that, THE LOTUS EATERS helps us to see and hear and feel the terrible human costs of that conflagration."
- Tim O’Brien, author of THE THINGS THEY CARRIED
"Among Tatjana Soli's many gifts are a sure hand for evoking time and place and an uncompromising emotional accuracy. THE LOTUS EATERS is a harrowing story of the powers of love and war, the demands of history and desire, and the unforgettable people who seek, against overwhelming odds, a kind of redemption. A great read from a writer to watch."
- Janet Peery, author of THE RIVER BEYOND THE
WORLD
