annarella 's review for:

Haven by Emma Donoghue
5.0

I'm fascinated by the so called Hiberno-Scottish mission and the different monks as they play a relevan role in the culture of Dark Ages and produce masterpiece like the Book of Kell.
This is a slow paced book but I don't expect a action packed story when it comes to monks. There's the story, the historical background, and there's food for thought.
I loved this book and I will surely read it again.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
