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.

One of the best books I’ve read

I loved this book. I had a very clear picture of every character. This book made me love and fear the wildness of Alaska.

Beautiful story!

An amazing story about strength, courage and love! One of my favorite books of all times!

Read better

Certainly not as good as her latter works. Three quarters through it and I gave up on it.

TRDiiii

Awesome!

Loved it! Felt like I was on my own adventure in Alaska!

Fantastic

The storyline is heartbreaking and riveting. Loved every word of this book. Bonds of a mother and daughter are priceless.

Finally Read it! Why did I wait? A must read!

There are no words to put how this book changed me as a person. This is the third Kristin Hannah book I have read. I have loved all 3, but The Great Alone had me closing the book as a different person. Or at least changed how I viewed things.

Alaska or Bust!

It makes me want to move to Alaska for the Summer, but it was an awesome story of love and loss and had plenty of twists and turns. I’d highly recommend it!

The Blind Gamer

The Great Alone

Such a great story— would totally recommend I like how the father was finally able t o settle down in Alaska after going from place to place for all those years after returning from the war.

Kimberly DC

Not fully satisfying

The descriptions of the landscape were beautiful, but the character development left much to de desired.

Capochick

First book I’ve read start to finish in YEARS

Beautifully written and leaves you thinking each time you have to put it down. Starts of fast and keeps you hooked throughout. My first read in such a long time, so glad this was recommended to me.

Buy now!

I loved this book! Much different than the murder mysteries I usually read. But this kept my attention the whole time. I’d find myself at work anticipating getting off so I could continue to read! Buy it now, you won’t regret it!

Daniellible

Rich and intense

Hannah masterfully creates a scene of chaos, abuse, and fear. She shows how easy it is to be controlled by fear and manipulated by someone who is supposed to love you.

Denise4567

Beautifully written

And beautiful landscape. A story of survival, love and family bonds

lollipop2378

Amazing

The writing is captivating, the characters are intricate and realistic, and the plot continues to surprise you with unexpected turns. Easy to fall in love with and highly recommend.

Beautiful and moving!

Beautifully developed story! Hannah still has me thinking about this story months later and probably will for years. Great great book!

After reading other of KH books..

I can’t believe it is written by KH. I had to struggle to finish the book. Very disappointing

azizi freezi

Amazing!!

For the last few paragraphs I was reading through tears. Hannah does an excellent job of connecting you to the story and strife of the main character. I felt loss, love, happiness and adventure as if I expreienced it for myself. A must read!

TheSeaWitchofMaine

Will read again

Wow, what an absolutely amazing story! A great read for anyone! A huge eye opener to what the Alaskan life is really like and gives a whole new prospective to mental health and how important it is to do your best when it comes to your family. Most definitely will read again!

Bambi~77

Great Read!!!

Loved this book, well written and enjoyable...especially wonderful company during a Wisconsin winter.

Dirsten

Couldn’t put it down!

I read this, as with all this author’s novels, in 3 days. Well written, enticing, surprise ending! I highly recommend it!

Lizsmc1

Great story

Very well written and easy to read. I read the whole book in two days while traveling.

schmidthk

Beautiful, touching, and sad

Unique characters fill this heart breaking and captivating novel. Satisfying end, modern themes/issues even though the novel is primarily set in the 1970s and 1980s.

skrmisz

Excellent read

Great adventure book!

Kiki1919

Worth the rime

I loved this entire book!

Boobysmoove

Just a dope author

Nightingale was the first novel I read from Kristin Hannah and was blown away. So I tried this new title, the Great Alone, and I was blown away again. In my opinion, she’s terrific at pulling you into the story. You see, hear and smell the world she’s written with the images she leads you to conjure. She makes it so easy to relate to her characters, because they’ve been created in such vivid and disturbingly realistic detail. I look forward to reading her entire catalogue. She’s dope.

I want to go to Alaska!

Terrific novel, very hard to put down. I will recommend this to everyone I know who reads. Loved this book.

MT Reviews

The Great Alone

I’m not sure this book deserves one star. The characters are underdeveloped stereotypes and the storyline is trite. A waste of time and talent.

tandyb

Alaska

I loved this book and the story of Alaska.....Kristin Hannah is a very descriptive writer in that you can visualize her words so much, you get lost in them. Her best is The Nightingale, probably my favorite book ever. This is a great read.

clichehorror

Cliche.

I really wanted to like this book. I love anything to do with rural Alaska living. But all of the characters are basically one dimensional caricatures out of a poorly written soap opera. No one is believable or likable, or has any depth. Every problem is solved by deus ex machina. The father, who is the villain, is monstrous because he is a war veteran suffering from PTSD. It is an extremely poor, misguided, and even offensive representation of PTSD. There is no depth beyond that. He has PTSD, and thus he is Bad. We are TOLD that he was once a kind, loving man, but that is never brought forth in the writing and we are just expected to believe it because that is what we are told, and War made him evil. His actions just more and more ridiculous and unbelievable as the story goes on. Overall, this wasn’t a good read. I started skipping through by the end just to see what happens because I was no longer invested in the story or the writing.

Doesn’t live up to the hype.

I really wanted to like this book, but it was disappointing. While some of the descriptions of scenery and people are engaging and evocative, the writing feels really flat overall — characters are one dimensional, plot developments are predictable, and complex problems and situations are resolved simplistically and unrealistically. I continued reading because I wanted to hear the ending, but the writing often distracted me from enjoying the book.

EK reviews

Life’s too short for this ridiculous book

Mediocre writing, little to no character development, relentlessly brutal and depressing. Such a disappointment. I stuck with it at first because of the allure that it might get better - and it was neat to get a glimpse of life in rural Alaska - but overall it was absolutely not worth the time. Find another book!

AnnaLeeHarding

Had to break up with this book

I wanted to love this book. I’ve read a few other books by this author and enjoyed them. She clearly has a gift for describing life in Alaska, as she had lived there and the story echoes some of her upbringing. However...it drones on and on...and on...I couldn’t bear to read more about the alcoholic father whose tantrums progressed into destroying everything around him. I found myself dreading the read...which isn’t the point of reading for me. I quit the book a few times. I eventually made it to the midway point and finally got tired of the story. All the wilderness details couldn’t save it for me. I just assumed the father would self-destruct, karma would have its way with him-blah blah...I won’t spoil it for you but you can see the ending coming from about chapter 3. Out of curiosity...I read the final chapter...and sure enough, my predictions were correct. I’m glad I didn’t waste more of my life muddling through the muckity -muck of it.

Deep and moving

Well written and a great story and a great read! I recommend it!

Rosaki1113

Hoping for adventure

Gah! I usually love books about people adventuring into far flung places. Sadly, this book read like the author imagining Alaska, not actually having ever been there. And then the loooong drawn out drama of the abusive Father. You just wanted it to be over! I dragged myself through the last half of the book, which just killed any enjoyment I got out of the first half.

Emotion

I am an avid book reader and Iv never been so emotional reading a book. This story hit so close to home for me and I couldn’t put it down. I cried, I laughed, I cried, I was frustrated, I cried, I got angry, I cried some more. I didn’t want it to end and I know it will be a book I will read over and over for years to come.

The Great Alone- Great all around

Loved this book. It made me smile and swoon. It also make me cry, but it ended well. It reminded me why I love books so much.

BrerBearPlace

Alaskan Wilderness Effect

The Great Alone, deeply disturbed me, as I have been drawn to wilderness my whole life and yet I knew how the wild could threaten and bring out the ugly (and amazing) in me. This book digs into a whole lot of painfulness, especially from a female perspective while showing hope and love as finally victorious. Read it and see what comes up for you!

rockyroad888

Amazing story

I could not put this book down, I felt entranced by every plot turn. The hardest I have ever cried reading a book. This is my second Kristin Hannah book (Nightingale was the first) and she has made me addicted to reading!

Ralphnun1

The Great Alone

In the very beginning I thought to myself.....” I just can’t get into this book “ but I continued on and believe me when I say that this book was possibly the best book I have ever read. What a marvelous story!!!! It made me smile, made me very nervous and made me cry, but the ending was everything you could ever want. Stick with it people....you certainly won’t regret it.

mlstuvland

The Great Alone

Kristin Hannah never disappoints. The Great Alone drew me in and I couldn’t put it down. Finished it in three days. What a touching story of the human spirit and the kindness of strangers. As well as reminder of the power of forgiveness. All set in the state of Alaska that the author so beautifully describes in vivid detail. I know want to visit Alaska someday soon!

Chacachow

Beautifully written story

I enjoyed this book so much. It made me laugh, cry and it left me on the edge of my seat. I generally hate books about the wilderness but I enjoyed this book about the trials of romance and family in Alaska. I recommend this book for people everywhere.
