The Great Alone

by Kristin Hannah
The Great Alone
The Great Alone

Alaskan wilderness tests family, reveals enduring love.

If you've got a taste for raw, emotional sagas set against forbidding landscapes, "The Great Alone" will resonate deeply with you. Kristin Hannah's storytelling weaves the profound impact of war, the struggle to find one's place in a new frontier, and the wrenching power of love within a family. It's a compelling narrative that could very well have you feeling the chill of the Alaskan air and the warmth of human resilience.

Description

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. It is the finest example of Hannah's ability to weave together the deeply personal with the universal.
