(From HarperCollins Canada)Įmma Donoghue is an Irish Canadian writer. Drifting out into the Atlantic, the three men find the impossibly steep, bare island known today as Skellig Michael. With two monks - young Trian and old Cormac - he rows down the River Shannon in search of an isolated spot in which to found a monastery. In seventh-century Ireland, a scholar priest named Artt has a dream in which God tells him to leave the sinful world behind.
