Night Watch

I've been a fan of Jayne Anne Philips for years, and yet (somehow) I missed this one until it won the Pulitzer Prize. Well, thank you Team Pulitzer for bringing it to my attention, because it's fantastic. Moving back and forth between 1864 and 1874, between the cataclysm of the Battle of the Wilderness and the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia (a real place), this beautiful novel follows the lives of three people still reeling from the Civil War: scarred, silent, confused. And very, very damaged. Phillips is a brave, unflinching storyteller, and NIGHT WATCH is a gem.
