Overview
Originally published in 1985, four years after its author's untimely death, Love and Freedom is the unforgettable story of Rosemary Kavan, an Englishwoman whose marriage to a Czech led her to experience life in post-war Prague, from early optimistic years, through the nightmare of the Stalinist purges, up to the 'Prague Spring' and its aftermath.Her husband Pavel, a devoted communist, fell victim to the show-trials of the early 1950s and spent years in prison, dying soon after his release.Branded 'a traitor's wife', Rosemary struggled to support herself and her two sons.In the mid-1960s she became involved in the student reform movement, but the Russian invasion of 1968 came as a further cataclysm. 'An outstanding memoir.' George Steiner'The story of a tragic disillusionment, political and personal, told with invincible humour.' Graham Greene'The overwhelming impression left by this book is one of warmth, true comradeship, courage and hope.' Timothy Garton Ash
