Taking two monks--young Trian and old Cormac--he rows down the river Shannon in search of an isolated spot on which to found a monastery. Drifting out into the Atlantic, the three men find an impossibly steep, bare island inhabited by tens of thousands of birds, and claim it for God. In such a place, what will survival mean?Monastery -- River -- To sea -- Becalmed -- Landfall -- The cross -- Seedtime -- To work -- Hatching season -- Harvest -- The last fire -- Overwintering.
