Beskrivelse af Night Watch
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024'A tour de force - breathtaking in both its scope and intensity' TAYARI JONES'Shatteringly particular and audaciously universal' ALICE RANDALL'Excellent... Phillips has brought a little more of this foundational American episode into the light' GUARDIAN'Beautiful, mournful... Phillips's artistic conscience won't let her flinch from this truth, but her generous heart won't let it be the last word' WASHINGTON POSTIn 1874, in the wake of the War, erasure, trauma, and namelessness haunt 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-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia, delivered to the hospital's entrance by a war veteran who has forced himself into their lives. There, far from family, a beloved neighbor, and the mountain home they knew, they try to reclaim their lives.The omnipresent vagaries of war and race rise to the surface as we learn their backstory: 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.
