Haven emma donoghue book review5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() I do have to say, however, that I am intrigued by the factual basis of the story and would love to learn more about the monks that actually journeyed to this desolate isle.Ī dream of one man, Artt, to settle a monastery on a deserted rocky island leads two other men to leave their monastery behind them. I feel like the writing of the book was beautifully done but the subject matter was just a drag. ![]() I wish that the book focused more on what happens after Trian and Cormac finally decide to leave but sadly that's pretty much where the books ends. ![]() Trian, Cormac, and Artt give it a valiant go on this desolate island full of birds, and not much of anything else living.Īrtt "lords it" over the other two as their Prior and constantly brings them to the brink of starvation and insanity. Three monks set off to an uninhabited island after their Prior (one of said three monks) has a dream that God wants him to go there. ![]() I LOVE the author's other works but this one just didn't do it for me. I wanted to love this book, I really did. I am always so thankful to get these ARCs to read, and even when I don't like a book I appreciate the opportunity. ![]()
