Information

A new masterpiece from National Book Award and PEN-Faulkner Award finalist Hugh Nissenson, The Pilgrim is a gripping account of a love-torn Puritan's spiritual struggle for redemption, the finding of an unforgettable romantic love, and his never ending battle to overcome the burden of sin. Charles Wentworth, a heartbroken Puritan, has abandoned his faith after the death of his betrothed. Now he must travel to Plymouth in hopes of being freed of the temptations that torment him, never expecting to encounter again love amid a world of discovery and danger.

""A lustrous recreation. Hugh Nissenson has taken the ore of research and transmuted it into the gold of art. The "Pilgrim" is impossible to put
down until the final words. And then they continue to carom endlessly in the mind." -Stefan Kanfer, author of Tough Without a Gun (recent Bogart bio), Ball of Fire (Lucille Ball bio), Groucho
