Sinopsis de NIGHT WATCH (WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024)

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 POST In 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.
