Bird of passage

"Mai Zetterling, one of Bergman's early associates, has been writing short stories and short novels like Night Games--here a hundred-odd pages about a woman who's spent five years of "living death" in an "asylu"" after an unfortunate "whirlpool of love" with a priest. She had permitted their child to drown in its bath and she herself has been submerged. Now she drives feverishly on the roadways until she glimpses a boy at an airport, a diminutive reflection of herself, follows him, brings him small things to eat, and is regeneratively rewarded when he tentatively gives her an egg..."--Kirkus
