IslandsFictionMonasteriesWelsh authorsWelsh fictionEnglish fictionFiction, generalAt a desolate monastery off the coast of Wales, the pilgrims vanish one by one ... This mesmerizing tale is woven around two characters: Vane, an emissary sent by the bishop to investigate the disappearance of a number of pilgrims on their way to the island's miraculous well; and the abbot, who dissects cadavers in his determined search for the physical location of the human soul.
