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. Night Watch was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2024 on 6 May 2024
