The Snare by Pavel Kohout is an enthralling and dramatic tale of love, illusion, and betrayal set between two men and a woman. In 1948, the Communist Party struggles to overthrow the ruling socialists in Czechoslovakia, with the charismatic fisherman Fischer at the helm. Set against this ever-changing backdrop, Kohout's novel follows the intertwining lives of fisherman's wife Kamila, artistic young genius Jan Soukup, and their passionate romance. A tale of political intrigue and infidelity, The Snare draws in as its plot intricately spins through real historical times of Czechoslovaki leadership, past, and present.
