In 1874, in the wake of the war, trauma haunts civilians and veterans, renegades and wanderers, freedmen and runaways. 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 neighbour, and the mountain home they knew, they try to reclaim their lives. 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. 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. *648 7$a1850-1899$2bokbas$9nob *650 7$aBorgerkrig$2bokbas$9nob$_41182800 *651 $aUSA$2bokbas$9nob$_41198800 *655 7$aHistorisk litteratur$2bokbas$_43995400 *655 7$aRomaner$0https://id.nb.no/vocabulary/ntsf/258$9nob$2bokbas$_42659300 *852##$iP ^
