Twelve-year-old ConaLee and her mother, Eliza, who hasn't spoken in more than a year, arrive at the Trans-AlleghÂÂÂ ­eny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia, delivered to the hospital's entrance by a war vetÂÂÂ ­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 Epic, enthralling and meticulously crafted, Night Watch is a brilliant portrait of family endurance against all odds and a stunning chronicle of surviving war and its aftermath.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette UK","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47292112732311,"sku":"9780349727806","price":540.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780349727806.webp?v=1773398702","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/night-watch-winner-of-the-pulitzer-prize-for-fiction-2024-9780349727806","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
