This is the story of Saint Brendan the Navigator, whose legendary quest to find the Isle of the Blessed is one of the most remarkable and enduring early Christian tales. Among Irish saints, Brendan the Navigator is second only to Patrick. Founder of several monasteries, he most famously guided a group of monks on a dangerous journey into the unknown vastness of the ocean on a search for Paradise. Based on the medieval "Life of St Brendan," Morgan Llywelyn's imaginative retelling of the Christian legend of this most remarkable man is a lyrical and surprising feast for the mind and heart. It is a story of truth and transcendence, and inner strength and daily discipline, a story of love and longing, and a story of towering faith. And of course, miracles.

This is a fine work, and provides a lot of insight into the worlds (natural and supernatural) that St. Brendan lived in, but I can’t say the work is ever gripping in the way her ‘Irish Century’ novels are. This is somewhat the subject matter, but also she seemed unable or unwilling to present the impact Brendan’s mystical experiences must have had on Brendan himself.
Again, my expectations were high, and I would recommend this work. It is enjoyable and insightful - Just not a page turner.
