About this listen

FINALIST FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD

In a time of plague and terror, three men abandon their familiar world and set out in a small boat for an island they don’t know exists, with only faith and devotion to guide them

In seventh-century Ireland, a scholar priest named Artt has a dream in which God tells him to leave the sinful world behind. 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. Drifting out into the Atlantic, the three men find the impossibly steep, bare island known today as Skellig Michael. In such a place, what will survival mean?

Surprising!

I must admit that at the beginning I was a bit dubious as to whether I’d actually finish this book. However, it was so well constructed & narrated, that the characters grew on me & it turned out to be a wonderful tale of human endeavour, survival & relationships.

It’s a decent story, reasonably well told

I found the historical content interesting and the adventure/survival story kept me attached. The prose is not delicious but straight forward. Characters were engaging and infuriating some more artfully drawn then others. A decent listen.

Boring. The narrator is great though.

Struggled to get through this one. It wasn't nearly as exciting as I had imagined. I was waiting for some real survival stuff. Just a lot of birds.
