Ticket to Prague

When tough young Amy Douglas finds herself working in a psychiatric hospital, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with an elderly patient, whose secret past leads them together to the streets of Prague – and a fiery confrontation. For Josef is no ordinary a Czech exile, he is an acclaimed national poet and also a suspected traitor, whose return arouses fears of betrayal and denunciation of former communist collaborators.Amy is torn between her faith in the old man and her feelings for Jiri, an idealistic Czech student who doubts the poet’s motives. As the great day of Josef’s official reception approaches, Amy scarcely knows what to believe and whom to trust.Ticket to Prague is thought-provoking, full of drama and also of humour, an evocation of the beauty of Prague and a heart-warming story of friendship and loyalty.
