About this product

Product Information

From the bestselling author of The Nightingale Alaska, 1974. Untamed. Unpredictable. A story of a family in crisis struggling to survive at the edge of the world, it is also a story of young and enduring love. Cora Allbright and her husband Ernt, a recently-returned Vietnam veteran scarred by the war, uproot their thirteen year old daughter Leni to start a new life in Alaska. Utterly unprepared for the weather and the isolation, but welcomed by the close-knit community, they fight to build a home in this harsh, beautiful wilderness. At once an epic story of human survival and love, and an intimate portrait of a family tested beyond endurance, The Great Alone offers a glimpse into a vanishing way of life in America. With her trademark combination of elegant prose and deeply drawn characters, Kristin Hannah has delivered an enormously powerful story that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the remarkable and enduring strength of women. About the highest stakes a family can face and the bonds that can tear a community apart, this is a novel as spectacular and powerful as Alaska itself. It is the finest example of Kristin Hannah's ability to weave together the deeply personal with the universal.

  • Very good but intense.

    This is a great story and a real page turner, but I actually took a break in the middle of it and read something much gentler just to rebalance myself. I'm pleased I persevered though as it's well worth the effort and anxiety!

  • The Great Alone

    You are transported to living in Alaska with a deranged family. Leni is a survivor and that is depicted to the end of the book. Her relationship with Matthew is tragic. Well worth reading.
