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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpic, enthralling, and meticulously crafted, \u003ci\u003eNight Watch \u003c\/i\u003eis a stunning chronicle of surviving war and its aftermath.","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216682414335,"sku":"9780451493330","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780451493330_s600x595.jpg?v=1775582886","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780451493330","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
