Brendan by Frederick Buechner
A vividly imagined historical novel follows a young Irish monk whose restless spirit and vivid imagination drive him from the safe rhythms of monastery life into a series of daring sea voyages, encounters with saints and sinners, and a lifelong search for a promised island that is as much spiritual as geographical; along the way he contends with miracles and doubts, loyalty and betrayal, humor and grief, and gradually learns how faith, storytelling, and the natural world shape a calling that refuses easy answers.
