Pilgrimage (audiobook)

Johan Bojer was one of Norway’s greatest writers, nominated five times for the Nobel Prize. His 1924 novel, A Pilgrimage, is on the surface the tale of the difficulties faced by Regina, a young unmarried mother in Norway whose son was given to another couple at birth, and her maternal love for her lost child. Beneath, however, is the darker story of a lifelong obsession with the life and child she never had. After leaving the lying-in hospital, Regina takes a job as a housekeeper for a wealthy widower in Sweden, marries him, and becomes pregnant with his child.
