Book haven emma donoghue5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() What is Divine Grace? Purity of soul? Virtue? Not what they think." - one of her regular breaks from contemporary fiction, Donoghue has left behind none of her ability to spin a compelling story and people it with sharp characterizations.Generating narrative tension from a minimum of action, Donoghue brings the monks' conflicts to a climax when Trian falls ill and a long-kept secret is revealed. #EmmaDonoghue (ROOM) combines pressure-cooker intensity + radical isolation, to stunning effect. In 7th C, #Ireland, three men set sail to a bird-thick island to find God. The island setting and the characters stayed with me long after I finished reading."- Sarah Moss, author of Summerwater " Haven is a beautiful and timely novel about isolation, passion and the conflict between obedience and self-preservation. This is a patient, thoughtful novel with much to say about spirituality, hope, and human failure, and about the miracle of mercy."- Esi Edugyan, Giller Prize-winning author of Washington Black ![]() "Told with the clarity of a fable, Haven transports us into territories unknown, where 'fog makes an island of every man.' Donoghue's men of the cloth confront challenges that rattle not only their faith in God, but their faith in each other and in the natural world. ![]()
