The only plan for his journey was to begin in the east at Easter and to finish at Whitsun in the extreme west, at the Monastery of the Golden Step - whose gold step, legend says, can only be seen by those who have purged themselves into purity.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Somerville adores Crete ... The Golden Step is the culmination of that loveaffair. We cross the magnificent Cretan mountains at Somerville's side, meet the "real Cretans" and revel in village celebrations and impromptutaverna music sessions. Somerville's evocative poems are seeded throughout a text that's as readable and pacy as a novel.' -- Nicola Iseard The Daily Express 'A finely written memoir... A more absorbing book about Crete - and indeed middle-age - is unlikely to come along for a while.' Daily Telegraph 'By way of criticism, I have none... The Golden Step is a book which should be read by everybody who loves great travel literature' -- Stelios Jackson The Hellenic Bookservice
