Description
Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips is a mesmerising story about a mother and daughter's journey to find refuge in a mental asylum after the Civil War. In 1874, trauma haunts civilians and veterans, forcing them to confront their pasts. Twelve-year-old ConaLee and her mother, Eliza, arrive at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia, seeking a new path amidst chaos. There, they become entangled in the lives of the asylum's residents, including the mysterious Night Watchman, the enigmatic Child called Weed, and the fearsome woman who runs the kitchen. As they navigate their new surroundings, ConaLee and Eliza must confront the twin horrors of war and race that have defined their history. With meticulous craftsmanship, Phillips weaves a brilliant portrait of family endurance against all odds, creating an enthralling chronicle of surviving war and its aftermath.
