Though he establishes two monasteries and rises to the rank of abbot, one dream refuses to leave him.And so, gathering a band of brothers to his side, he leads a dangerous voyage into the unknown vastness of the ocean to seek out the mythical Isle of the Blessed.Part-diary, part-retelling, this is an extraordinary account of a spellbinding adventure set in the thin lines where one world meets another, perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Madeline Miller.Praise for Brendan A fantastical maritime expedition worthy of Ulysses; her prose is by turns reflective, lyrical and stalwart, delving into the popular legend with a genuine sense of Brendan s human strengths and frailties Publishers Weekly The reader remains captivated from first page to last Jean M.
