Fiction
A unique and sweeping debut novel of an American female
combat photographer in the Vietnam War, as she captures the
wrenching chaos and finds herself torn between the love of
two men. On a stifling day in 1975, the North
Vietnamese army is poised to roll into Saigon. As the fall
of the city begins, two lovers make their way through the
streets to escape to a new life. Helen Adams, an American
photojournalist, must take leave of a war she is addicted to
and a devastated country she has come to love. Linh, the
Vietnamese man who loves her, must grapple with his own
conflicted loyalties of heart and homeland. As they race to
leave, they play out a drama of devotion and betrayal that
spins them back through twelve war-torn years, beginning in
the splendor of Angkor Wat, with their mentor,
larger-than-life war correspondent Sam Darrow, once Helen's
infuriating love and fiercest competitor, and Linh's secret
keeper, boss and truest friend. Tatjana Soli paints a
searing portrait of an American woman’s struggle and triumph
in Vietnam, a stirring canvas contrasting the wrenching
horror of war and the treacherous narcotic of obsession with
the redemptive power of love. Readers will be transfixed by
this stunning novel of passion, duty and ambition among the
ruins of war.
