Summary "The Pilot and His Wife" by Jonas Lie is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set along the rugged southern coast of Norway, and revolves around the lives of Old Jacob, a retired pilot, and his granddaughter, Elizabeth. Following the death of Jacob, the narrative unfolds around Elizabeth's relationships and her struggles with expectations, love, and her own identity. The opening of the novel introduces the setting of the story—Little Torungen, where Old Jacob lives in a lighthouse, accompanied by his inquisitive granddaughter, Elizabeth. The old man is somber and withdrawn, reflecting on his past as a pilot and the tragedies that have shaped his life, while Elizabeth is portrayed as bright and adventurous, yearning for knowledge about the world beyond her isolated home. Their dynamic is established through their shared moments of speculation about passing ships and mysterious foreigners, foreshadowing Elizabeth’s eventual entanglement with sailors and the broader societal changes as she transitions from her sheltered upbringing into the complexities of adult relationships, particularly with Salvé, a young sailor, and Carl Beck, a charming naval lieutenant.
