Review
Tom Davies' latest pilgrimage, Through Fields of Gold, is another entertaining camper van caper through a sun drenched, autumnal Europe on the eve of the Millennium. Refreshingly, Davies' millennium moment IS imbued with spiritual and human significance, as he travels from Berlin, Germany, through the heart of Lutheranism into the luminous light of Italy and on to Rome--the setting of so much rich Christian heritage. In between, Davies' honest, soul-baring account of his relationship with God weaves its way in and around the places he visits: Dachau, with its painful, accusatory rage against God's silence and man's wickedness; the amusing and bizarre history of passion plays in Oberammergau, Austria; and the vision of Venice that Davies paints with moments of exquisite atmospheric clarity. "You could stand on the stone bridges and actually hear the water lapping in the darkness. Lovers slipped past, hand in hand, through the tangled shadows, and down on the waterfront the warm night air filled with the odd throaty song of a gondolier." Significant figures in Christian history literally come to life in this book as Luther, St Francis, Dante and Galileo mingle with the motley crew of pilgrims and travellers Davies encounters. The "Welsh hack" is very much on form with this journey on The Road, and even if you've never visited any of these places you'll love this tapestry of faith, adventure and throat-chuckling humour. -- Susannah Steel
