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.

Praise for Brendan

“Llywelyn's narrative, laced with fifth-century Irish history and lore, climaxes with 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

“Llywelyn brings to life the complex tribal Celtic society in which Brendan lived and creates some memorable characters. . . . Will please fans of Ireland’s best-known historical novelist and . . . readers who enjoy learning about early Christianity through fiction.”
--Booklist
