Amerika, 1874 god. Na dorogakh yeshche nedavno okhvachennoy Grazhdanskoy voynoy strany peresekayutsya sud'by mirnykh zhiteley i soldat, brodyag i begletsov. Dvenadtsatiletnyaya KonaLi vynuzhdena otpravit'sya v put' s mater'yu, kotoraya ne razgovarivayet uzhe bol'she goda. Vydavaya sebya za ledi i sluzhanku, oni nakhodyat ubezhishche v lechebnitse dlya dushevnobol'nykh. Pokoy obitateley v etikh stenakh oberegayet izranennyy, poteryavshiy pamyat' soldat — Nochnoy Strazh. Roman Dzheyn Enn Fillips, udostoyennyy Pulittserovskoy premii, — ne tol'ko pronzitel'naya istoricheskaya drama, no i gimn miloserdiyu i glubokoye osmysleniye uyazvimosti i stoykosti zhenshchin v oglushennom nasiliyem mire. Sochetaya poetichnost' yazyka s tochnost'yu dokumental'noy khroniki, pisatel'nitsa issleduyet khrupkost' chelovecheskogo dukha i raskryvayet istselyayushchuyu silu sostradaniya.
