abstract:The Lotus Eaters (2010) is an award-winning novel by Tatjana Soli. It tells the story of an American woman, Helen Adams, who goes to Vietnam to cover the war as a combat photojournalist and love triangle with two men.
It is likely because of this emphasis on the simpler, slower pleasures of life that Vancouver is known to the rest of Canada as the "land of the lotus-eaters".
