The Lotus Eaters / Tatjana Soli
Titre : The Lotus Eaters Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tatjana Soli, Auteur Editeur : London [England] : Harper Press Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 386p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-00-736420-6 Langues : Italien Résumé : As the fall of Saigon begins in 1975, two lovers make their way through the streets, desperately trying to catch one of the last planes out. Helen Adams, a photojournalist, must leave behind a war she has become addicted to and a devastated country she loves. Linh, her lover, must grapple with his own conflicting loyalties to the woman from whom he can’t bear to be parted, and his country.
Betrayal and self-sacrifice follows, echoing the pattern of their relationship over the war-torn years, beginning in the splendour of Angkor Wat, with jaded, cynical, larger-than-life war correspondent Sam Darrow, Helen's greatest love and fiercest competitor, driven by demons she can only hope to vanquish.
Spurred on by the need to get the truth of the war out to an international audience, and the immense personal cost this carries, Sam and Helen's passionate and all-consuming love is tested to the limit. This mesmerising novel carries resonance across contemporary wars with questions of love and heart-breaking betrayal interwoven with the conflict.Note de contenu : Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction, 2011 Nature du document : Roman Genre : Drame, Tragédie/Récit de vie/Sentimental Réservation
