There are several fictional accounts of the Buddha’s life, including The Lady of the Lotus, by William Barrett, which tells Siddhartha’s story from his wife Yasodhara’s point of view; The Way of Siddhartha, by David and Indrani Kalupahana, a novelization of the Buddha’s life by a Buddhist scholar and his wife; and Old Path, White Clouds, by Thich Nhat Hanh, another novelization by a renowned Vietnamese Buddhist monk, which has a more devotional tone.
