One way ticket - Fotis Loizou

The 1950s and '60s were a troubled and difficult time for Cyprus and its people. The land was torn and fractured. Thousands of Cypriots migrated to England in search of hope, in search of a better life. What would they find in their new land? How would they change? When, if ever, would they return to their loved ones, to their towns and villages?In his story, 'One Way Ticket: The Autobiography of a London Cypriot', the author describes a journey that was not only geographical, but also emotional and psychological. He explains how, with the passing of time, the Cypriots, who had made the journey to England, were confronted with a re-assessment of their traditions and customs, of their language and even their identity.
