Twelve-year-old ConaLee, the adult in her family for as long as she can remember, finds herself on a buckboard journey with her mother, Eliza, who hasn’t spoken in more than a year. They arrive at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia, delivered to the hospital’s entrance by a war veteran who has forced himself into their world. There, far from family, a beloved neighbor, and the mountain home they knew, they try to reclaim their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe omnipresent vagaries of war and race rise to the surface as we learn their 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 mysterious man they call the Night Watch; the orphan child called Weed; the fearsome woman who runs the kitchen; the remarkable doctor at the head of the institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpic, enthralling, and meticulously crafted, Night Watch is a stunning chronicle of surviving war and its aftermath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47195962769648,"sku":"9781101972793","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/content_a4169882-356e-461e-98ed-c54ec3754d2c.jpg?v=1738955017","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/night-watch-pulitzer-prize-winner","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
