Haven by Emma Donoghue

In seventh-century Ireland, a visionary priest leads two monks to a remote Atlantic island to found an austere monastic outpost. As they battle hunger, storms, and the island’s fragile ecosystem, their faith and loyalties strain under the leader’s rigid zeal and the practical wisdom of his companions. The clash between obedience and survival lays bare the limits of human endurance and the costs of spiritual absolutism.
