Monday Night Book Club at Canton Public Library To Discuss The Lotus Eaters

            The Monday Night Book Club at Canton Public Library has selected The Lotus Eaters:  A Novel by Tatjana Soli as its April selection.  The discussion begins at 7:00 PM on Monday, April 9.

            The Lotus Eaters is both a war story and a love story.  Set during the Vietnam War, the story captures the chaos of war and the devastation wrought upon Vietnam.  Helen Adams is an American combat photographer who is introduced to the war by Sam Darrow, a seasoned and cynical war correspondent who becomes both her lover and her competition.  Linh, a former Vietnamese soldier, is Darrow’s assistant and later becomes Adams’s lover.  The complex relationships among the three play out against the backdrop of the war and of Vietnam in the 1960s and 70s.

            Copies of the The Lotus Eaters are available at the library.  New members are always welcome to join the discussion.  Canton Public Library is at 40 Dyer Avenue, Canton.  For information:  (860) 693-5800 or www.cantonpubliclibrary.org
