"A mesmerizing story about a mother and daughter seeking refuge in the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War." They end up at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia where they begin to find a new path. "They get swept up in the life of the facility—the mysterious man they call the Night Watch; the orphan 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 stunning chronicle of surviving war and its aftermath."

No doubt we'll be hearing more about this one.

Thanks for reporting.
