The Pilgrim

　　A New Masterpiece from National Book Award and PEN-Faulkner Award Finalist Hugh Nissenson

　　The Pilgrim (Sourcebooks Landmark; November 8) 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 heart broken Puritan, comes to the New World from England in 1622 in search of salvation and a new beginning. After the tragic death of his betrothed, Charles abandons his faith and revels in lust until his guilt finally overwhelms him. Now he must travel to Plymouth in hopes of being freed of the temptations that torment him.

　　On his journey Charles falls in love again, this time with a young woman seeking the pious life. In Plymouth, they must overcome a world in which wolves and heathen Indians roam the dark forests, and famine and disease are ever-present threats.

　　The Pilgrim is a novel of the Puritan world from one of America's greatest living writers. Critics have called Nissenson's writing "exuberant", as well as "moving and thought-provoking."
Nissenson is the author of eight books, including The Days of Awe. His previous novel, The Tree of Life, was a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN-Faulkner Award. He lives in New York City.
