About this product

Product Information

In Kristin Hannah's The Great Alone , a desperate family seeks a new beginning in the near-isolated wilderness of Alaska only to find that their unpredictable environment is less threatening than the erratic behavior found in human nature. #1 New York Times Instant Bestseller (February 2018) A People "Book of the Week" Buzzfeed's "Most Anticipated Women's Fiction Reads of 2018" Seattle Times's "Books to Look Forward to in 2018" Alaska, 1974. Ernt Allbright came home from the Vietnam War a changed and volatile man. When he loses yet another job, he makes the impulsive decision to move his wife and daughter north where they will live off the grid in America's last true frontier. Cora will do anything for the man she loves, even if means following him into the unknown. Thirteen-year-old Leni, caught in the riptide of her parents' passionate, stormy relationship, has little choice but to go along, daring to hope this new land promises her family a better future. In a wild, remote corner of Alaska, the Allbrights find a fiercely independent community of strong men and even stronger women. The long, sunlit days and the generosity of the locals make up for the newcomers' lack of preparation and dwindling resources. But as winter approaches and darkness descends, Ernt's fragile mental state deteriorates. Soon the perils outside pale in comparison to threats from within. In their small cabin, covered in snow, blanketed in eighteen hours of night, Leni and her mother learn the terrible truth: they are on their own.

I was a little bothered that the ending pages of the book (last 1/8 of book) were wrinkled from water damage, at least I am assuming water...? I don't think that was mentioned in condition, only mentioning condition was GOOD. I would have written FAIR instead.

    Best novel I’ve read all year

    Slow beginning, but compelling after a few chapters. The description of Alaska was done beautifully. The story of the Allbright family was intriguing. They loved, they planned, and Cora and daughter, Leni, were victims of abuse. Kristen Hannah outdid herself here.

  • A well written novel

    I am reviewing this novel and have not yet finished the book. The book contains a well-written storyline that is filled with tension. The author writes the novel in an easy-to-read prose.

  • The Great Alone Novel -

    I am reading this book for book club. I am 3/4 of the way through. I thought it was a little slow in spots, but it does get much better. After half way through, it is hard to put down. The content can be disturbing at times.
