I’ve been a bit quiet this week, but I did want to call your attention to a great guest post from Tatjana Soli, author of The Lotus Eaters, that Anna and I posted on War Through the Generations.
Soli raises a great number of questions about what war means and how location plays into that, but she also highlights how the impact of war is best seen from the individual perspective — whether it is the soldier, the journalist, or the average civilian. In a way, this post explains how she became inspired enough to write The Lotus Eaters.
I hope you take the time to check out the guest post and leave a comment. If you missed my review of this phenomenal book, please check that out as well.
***As an aside, have you seen the episode of Samantha Brown’s travel show? You should check out the episode on Vietnam.
The Lotus Eaters is one of my favorite books of the year so far, so I’m so happy to have her as a guest on the war blog!
I hope people read her post. I thought it was great!
