The Great Alone is a daring, beautiful, stay-up-all-night story about love and loss from the number one bestselling author of The Four Winds, The Nightingale and publishing February 2024, The Women.
‘A master storyteller’ - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
‘A rich, compelling novel of love, sacrifice and survival, as epic as the Alaskan landscape it so vividly describes’ - Kate Morton, author of Homecoming
‘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.
With her trademark combination of elegant prose and deeply drawn characters, Kristin Hannah celebrates the remarkable and enduring strength of women.

Very depressing book. The first half is really good, sad, but good. The second half was bad: just very unrealistically horrible. Just when you think it will finally be okay, everything gets worse, in the most stupid and unrealistic way. I do not recommend to listen to this book if you want to listen to a nice book.

Great story telling, you have the feeling you know the characters. It gave me a small peek into Alaska, the beauty and the harshness. Love love love

Fijn boek om naar te luisteren. Ik werd echt meegenomen naar een andere wereld. De stem is even wennen, maar daarna prettig om naar te luisteren.

Een boek dat lekker weg leest/luistert. Qua schrijfstijl niet erg goed maar het verhaal is entertaining. Soms erg voorspelbaar maar er zitten ook ook onverwachte wendingen in het verhaal. Het einde is wat te soft.
