far from all other humanity, what will survival mean? ‘Haven is a
beautiful, bold blaze of a book’ Rachel Joyce, author of The

beautifully written’ The Times ‘Combines pressure-cooker
intensity and radical isolation, to stunning effect’ Margaret
Atwood via Twitter ‘Book of the Year’ pick in The Irish Times,
The Guardian, The Irish Post, RTÉ and The Times.
