Description
The Great Alone, a novel by Kristin Hannah, tells the story of a family's desperate search for a new beginning in the remote wilderness of Alaska. In 1974, Ernt Allbright returns home from the Vietnam War a changed man, and with him, his wife and daughter, embark on a perilous journey to live off the grid. As they settle into their new life, they must confront the unpredictable environment and the erratic behavior of those around them.
As winter approaches and the days grow shorter, the Allbrights' fragile mental state begins to deteriorate, and the perils outside pale in comparison to the threats from within. Against this backdrop of isolation and uncertainty, 13-year-old Leni must navigate the treacherous waters of her parents' relationship and find a way to survive in a land that promises both beauty and brutality.
This gripping novel explores the complexities of human nature and the resilience of the human spirit, as a family struggles to find a new sense of home and belonging in the wild and unforgiving landscape of Alaska.
