Touching Velvet
Description:
In 1999 Maxwell Boyle departed an office job in Huddersfield to take up a post as a teacher of English in Tabor, a South Bohemian town he already knew well. This volume records a year spent in the Czech Republic, a country brimming with charm and character yet still in transition a decade after its celebrated Velvet Revolution. "Encounters with grumpy landlords and white-socked shop girls, beer-fuelled evenings beneath the vaults of Tabor's Blues Bar ... all are evoked in a wry style." Michael Ivory, British Czech and Slovak Association.
