'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

In this unforgettable portrait of human frailty and resilience, Kristin Hannah reveals the indomitable character of the modern American pioneer and the spirit of a vanishing Alaska-a place of incomparable beauty and danger. The Great Alone is a daring, beautiful, stay-up-all-night story about love and loss, the fight for survival, and the wildness that lives in both man and nature.

‘A woman has to be tough as steel up here. You can’t count on anyone to save you and your children. You have to be willing to save yourselves’

Thirteen-year-old Leni is coming of age in a tumultuous time. Caught in the riptide of her parents’ passionate, stormy relationship, she dares to hope that Alaska will lead to a better future for her family, and a place to belong. Her mother, Cora, will do anything and go anywhere for the man she loves, even if it means following him into the unknown.

As Leni grows up in the shadow of her parents’ increasingly volatile marriage, she meets Matthew. And Matthew – thoughtful, kind, and brave – makes her believe in the possibility of a better life.

‘A masterclass’ - Karen Swan, author of The Stolen Hours

‘A rich, compelling novel of love, sacrifice and survival, as epic as the Alaskan landscape it so vividly describes’ - Kate Morton, author of Homecoming

Eleştirmen yorumları

I didn’t just love this book, I became obsessed with it [. . .] I could neither breathe nor move until I got to the end. I’m not sure a book has ever made me so furious, so thrilled or so devastated, often in the course of the same chapter. The characters were flawed and vulnerable, strong and naïve, and Hannah has delivered a masterclass in all the different ways love can both save us and destroy us. She is an absolutely lyrical writer [. . . ] she perfectly captures and evokes the majesty and splendid isolation of Alaska and it feels a privilege to have journeyed there with her. This is a story that will stay with me for a long, long time. (Karen Swan, Sunday Times bestselling author)
Great characters, great plots, great emotions, who could ask for more in a novel?’ (Isabel Allende on The Nightingale)
Beautifully written . . . packed with action and emotion (Sara Gruen, bestselling author of Water for Elephants on The Nightingale)
Movingly written and plotted with the skill of Greek tragedy. You'll keep turning the pages until the last racking sob (Daily Mail on The Nightingale)

Loved every word of this book. Tragic but feelgood - it will stay with me a long time. Has all the bones for a good film, in my opinion! The narrator was great. This was the first of Kristin Hannah's work that I have read / listened to and it prompted me to buy another (Firefly Lane) which I have also already finished and loved. I would definitely listen to this again and buy even more of Kristin's work. What a great author.

Would make a good film!

Period.

I shall definitely be listening to more from Kristin Hannah.

Soft yet brutal. Vivid while being blurry.

The somnolent narration fits perfectly.

One of the best modern historical novels I’ve ever read.

This had me hooked from the very beginning. The narrator (who've I've heard before) is superb. Now to pick my next KH novel.

Kristen Hannah at her best!
