About the Author

Klavs Skovsholm was born in February, 1963 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has a twin sister and two elder brothers.
In 1988 he graduated with a Master’s in Law from the University of Copenhagen. He is specialized in various international legal fields, including European Union Law. From 1989 to 1993, he worked with legal translation at the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg. Then, in 1993, he moved to Belgium to work as an administrator with the Council of the European Union, which is where he is still working. He is a specialist in the European Union’s bilateral fisheries agreements with African countries.
He has travelled extensively in Africa, both privately and professionally, and he has a special long-standing interest in colonial history. He enjoys outdoor sports and engages regularly in hiking and rowing.
Golden Fields is Skovsholm’s first book, but he has published articles relating to various aspects of the history of South African Constitutional Law in an international law magazine.

Customer Reviews

"Here?s my one sentence book review:

If you LIKED ""The Power of One"" by Australian author Bryce Courtenay (It's also an IMDB 7.2 movie with Morgan Freeman), you will LOVE ""Golden Fields"" by Danish author Klavs Skovsholm.

Both authors are, in effect, strangers in a strange land. Yet they each vividly describe events a long time ago (many decades) in a place far, far away (South Africa). Bryce has powerful Peekay, boxing his way thru bad times, but I would argue that Skovsholm has his own powerful 1-2 punch, in his strong-willed, ?stiff upper lipped,? characters, Theodora Villiers and Lily Wood fighting their way thru sad times.

I rarely write reviews, of bookshelves, or books. But I had an incident on public trans that motivated me in this case. I was so spellbound by a particular section of the novel?no spoilers herein, you?ll discover it for yourself?involving Theodora?s grandson Antonius, that I literally missed not one, but several of my stops. It was late at night, I was wet & hungry. But I kept reading late into the night.

Finished Golden Fields, & immediately said, ?yes, please, I?ll have another,? I then straight away ordered Skovsholm?s second novel, ""At the Bay."" At the Bay

Stay tuned for that review but get Golden Fields now."
