Twelve-year-old ConaLee and her mother, Eliza, who hasn't spoken in more than a year, arrive at the Trans-Allegh eny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia, delivered to the hospital's entrance by a war vet eran who has forced himself into their lives. There, far from family, a beloved neighbour, and the mountain home they knew, they try to reclaim their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The twin horrors of war and race rise to the surface as we learn their history: their flight to the highest mountain ridges of western Virginia; the disappearance of ConaLee's father, who left for the war and never returned. Meanwhile in the asylum, they begin to find a new path. ConaLee pretends to be her mother's maid; Eliza responds slowly to treatment. They get swept up in the life of the facility - the mystery behind the man they call the Night Watch; the child called Weed; the fearsome woman who runs the kitchen; the remarkable doctor at the head of the institution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Epic, enthralling and meticulously crafted, \u003ci\u003eNight Watch \u003c\/i\u003eis a brilliant portrait of family endurance against all odds and a stunning chronicle of surviving war and its aftermath.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNight Watch was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2024 on 6 May 2024\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phillips, Jayne Anne","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50361372639571,"sku":"XV80349727790","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":50361372606803,"sku":"9780349727790","price":28.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/phillips-jayne-anne-jayne-anne-phillips-night-watch-2024-hardback-1128459396.jpg?v=1739141039","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/jayne-anne-phillips-night-watch-2024-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
