Each of the three main characters are incredibly intriguing however, Donoghue only gives us glimmers of their backstories making Haven a fascinating read. Instead, it serves as more of a character study. But what I found particularly interesting is the inner conflict each man experiences with a crisis of faith towards God and humanity. On top of fighting the elements, tension also arises between the men. Using Skellig Michael as the setting for most of the story, Donoghue weaves a tale filled with external and internal conflict. Each monk possess skills that will be important for the successful manifestation of Artt’s dream. Artt recruits old Cormac and young Train to come with him. A dream of an island far off the coast of Ireland where he and two other men will build a monastery.
