"ne of the first major novels to come our of fhe new Eastern Europe, this stylish combination of political allegory ond whodunit paints a vivid portrait of a nation in transition. When Professor Victor Krol—who had left Czechoslovakia during the Communist years and has returned to lead on economic reform program—is accused of collaborating with the secret police, he turns to his lover, Petra Mdrova, for help. Petro, who never left the country and has tried to shut out its realities with a long series of lovers, happens to hove had an affair with Josef Benes, the man who supposedly recruited Victor into the secret police. Petra is easily able to make Josef disavow the connection. But he makes her doubt Victor's innocence and sets her off on a complex and ill-fated investigation— aimed portly ot vindicating Victor, partly at unmasking him.
