Griffin The Lotus Eaters

A sweeping debut novel following the story of Helen Adams, an American combat photographer covering the Vietnam War, as she captures the chaos of the conflict on film, breaks into the 'man's world' of war photojournalism, and finds herself torn between the love of two men. "(A) splendid first novel...Helen's restlessness and grappling, her realization that 'a woman sees war differently,' provide a new and fascinating perspective on Vietnam. Vivid battle scenes, sensual romantic entanglements and elegant writing add to the pleasures of THE LOTUS EATERS.' --Danielle Trussoni, The New York Times Book Review.
