> Audiobook
>Austrian author
> Listening while cross stitching on cottage front porch with Sall
> Setting: Saigon, as Americans are evacuating and the North is about to take power
> Characters: Helen (photojournalist), Linh (lover, wounded by gunshot)
> Epigraph/Title: The name pretty much says it all. The Lotus Eaters eat the Lotus. Oh, and forget about their lives, homes, families, dreams, and aspirations after doing so. We almost forgot that part.....reference to Homer's "Odyssey".
> How to get "the big story" without falling into a dangerous situation during
transition of power
> Sounds like what is happening in the Middle East....the tragedy of regime change
> LibraryThing Review: The book dragged very slowly in terms of plot, and there were significant gaps in information. I was listening with a friend and we both got fed up after four hours....threw in the towel!
