Jan Novotny’s captivating Bohemia – Unearthing the Roots is the record of a walking adventure through the Czech Republic that reads like a fine novel."

"Novotny’s foot journeys in Bohemia will make you question your own lineage."
Michael Nest, Award-winning author of Cold Case North: the search for James Brady and Absolom Halkett.

"Deeply personal, and written from the perspective of an immigrant to Canada, Bohemia makes points about memory and nostalgia, touching upon themes universal to the emigration experience: can one go home again?"
Joseph F. Patrouch PhD, Professor, Central European Studies, University of Alberta.

"Jan Novotny’s walks through Bohemia penetrates the mists of time in this deeply-rich examination of fading family memories, broken bonds, and new beginnings in Canada, his home since fleeing the Soviet invasion of 1968."
Allan Mayer, former editor-in-chief, Edmonton Journal.
