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 neighbor, and the mountain home they knew, they try to reclaim their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe omnipresent vagaries of war and race rise to the surface as we learn their back story: 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\u003eEpic, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNight Watch was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2024 on 6 May 2024\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Phillips, Jayne Anne","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":52856712298835,"sku":"XG80349727813","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":50092135121235,"sku":"9780349727813","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/jayne-anne-phillips-night-watch-9780349727813-60691230818643.jpg?v=1769103403","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/night-watch-2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
