Description
America, 1874. In a country still recently torn by the Civil War, the lives of ordinary civilians and soldiers, wanderers and refugees intersect. Twelve-year-old ConaLi is forced to set out with her mother, who hasn’t spoken a word for more than a year. Pretending to be a lady and her servant, they find shelter in a mental hospital. The calm of the residents in this place is protected by an injured soldier who has lost his memory—the Night Watch. Jane Ann Phillips’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is not only a piercing historical drama, but also a hymn to mercy and a deep reflection on women’s vulnerability and resilience in a world stunned by violence. Combining a poetic style with the accuracy of documentary chronicle, the author explores the fragility of the human spirit and reveals the healing power of compassion.
