In Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone, a desperate family seeks a new beginning in the near-isolated wilderness of Alaska only to find that their unpredictable environment is less threatening than the erratic behavior found in human nature.

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.

Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of February 2018: In Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone, a damaged vet named Ernt Allbright returns from Vietnam and moves his family to the wilds of Alaska to start their lives anew. Initially it's a welcome change, but as winter approaches, and Ernt's mental state deteriorates, his wife and daughter find themselves in an increasingly precarious position. Leni and Cora are the heart of what is as much a mother-daughter love story as it is a pressure cooker of a page-turner. Together they reckon not only with the elements, but with some bad decisions, born from the stubborn faith that Ernt will somehow be restored to the person he was before the war. It’s a testament to Hannah’s compassionate storytelling that you’ll be hard-pressed to call him a villain; Ernt actually shares the same Achilles heel as the rest of the Allbright clan: they do not know how to ask for, or receive, help (so much so, you just want to shake them). Fortunately the cavalry comes anyway, including a homesteader named “Large Marge” who doesn’t suffer fools (or domestic abusers). The muse of The Great Alone is clearly Alaska--in all its untamed, stunningly beautiful, dangerous glory. It provides the perfect backdrop for an equally dramatic tale, one that feels remarkably current for the 1970s setting. But Hannah’s latest also harkens to her mega bestselling The Nightingale: it highlights the heroics of everyday people, especially women. And it’s just a damn good read. --Erin Kodicek, Amazon Book Review

From School Library Journal

Set in 1974 Alaska, this sweeping tale follows a girl coping with the dangers of domestic violence. Though ill-prepared for the extreme and harsh conditions, 13-year-old Leni and her parents, Ernt and Cora, have to learn how to survive in the unforgiving wild of their new home on the Kenai Peninsula. With the help of the small-knit community of endearing fellow homesteaders, the Allbrights manage to just barely stay afloat. But Ernt, who has never recovered from the trauma of fighting in the Vietnam War, struggles with the isolation and the interminably dark days of winter. Leni grows up witnessing her father (who is increasingly unable to control his paranoia and jealousy) abuse her beloved mother. Leni's greatest comfort and escape is her schoolmate and neighbor Matthew. Over the years, their friendship evolves into a forbidden romance. Hannah highlights, with vivid description, the natural dangers of Alaska juxtaposed against incongruous violence. VERDICT Give to teens who loved the author's The Nightingale and to fans of Jodi Picoult.—Tara Kehoe, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, Charlotte, NC

Clumsy and sophomoric

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

After having read and enjoyed The Nightingale and seeing this book’s star rating on Amazon, I thought it would be as good or at least comparable to The Nightingale, but unfortunately that is not the case. It almost seems as though The Great Alone was written by a different author. The plot is formulaic and full of holes, the characters flat and kitschy, and many of the details highly unlikely. The book is a clumsy and sophomoric attempt at portraying complicated and compelling subjects matter.

This was a novel of spousal and family abuse. The stroyline was at times laughably implausible. Too often I found myself reading and thinking “oh come on!” Not a happy tale. Not particularly an adventure. If you want to read about Alaska, read James Mitchner. Or Jack London.

Good but Depressing

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

SO depressing. Per the usual, Kristin Hannah has created layered, fleshy characters and an engrossing story, but you really need to be in a good place emotionally to read this one. While many of her books are bittersweet and run the gamut of life’s emotions, this one is pretty bleak cover to cover. If all is stable and calm in your world and you read it from a place of peace and emotional homeostasis, or you need a catalyst for a bawl fest, go for it! It’s certainly an engrossing read and very well written. But if you have a lot on your plate, or more than a bit of emotional stress in your life at the moment, steer clear. Perhaps the fact that it has had such a strong effect on my state of mind is a testament to Ms. Hannah’s storytelling abilities, but I’d unread this, at least for the moment, if I could. I’m so exhausted and bummed out from reading this, I’m having a hard time getting out of my pjs this weekend! Additionally, there are a couple of areas where the plot line is a real stretch, but I think it’s so well-written overall that those things can be overlooked. Still a very good book, but good grief!

ChickLit Meets Adventure With a Hearty Dose of Melodrama

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

This can best be described as ChickLit meets Adventure with a hearty dose of Melodrama. It is a good story—the kind that keeps you turning pages to find out what happens. And if you enjoy books with riveting plots, this one is for you. But that's about all it has. The characters—and some are quite colorful—are far too one-dimensional. The bad guys are really bad. And the good guys are really good. And there is not much in between.

Written by Kristin Hannah, this is the story of 13-year-old Leni who moves in 1974 (in an old VW bus of all things) to the uncivilized wilds of Alaska with her parents, Cora and Ernt. Cora is a loving mother, who thinks of Leni as her best friend. Ernt is a former Vietnam POW, who has nightmares and rages of anger that he takes out on his wife with his fists. This is the classic story of danger, and even in the middle of winter in godforsaken Alaska the real danger can be inside the cabin—not out.

While most of the plot is predictable, there are a few unexpected twists and turns that save the book from being totally banal. Still, this is hardly great literature.

Prepare to go on a journey

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

Rarely in my 50 years of reading have i come across a story that enfolds me into its pages as did "The Great Alone". The character of Leni takes us on a journey where we don't always want to follow. Her story is raw and honest, told through the innocence of a girl coming of age in the tumultuous 60's. Her description of Alaska is like watching a documentary about the state where we are swept from the water up to the glaciers and see a great panoramic of the wild and pristine state. Alaska herself comes alive as a character here, just as detailed and meaningful as any other. I grew to love the inhabitants of Kenaq as if I had lived there myself. The story flows in an often unpredictable way and leaves the reader wanting more. I am so glad I read this book and I can't wait to recommend it to others.

A Disappointment, after The Nightingale

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Loved it the descriptions of Alaska, but hated the treatment of the "PTSD." This wasn't just Vietnam-vet run-of-the-mill PTSD. This man must have had problems before he ever went to Vietnam. His "PTSD" was an excuse for spousal abuse, jealousy paranoid delusions of a survivalist nature . I was also disappointed in the relationship between the mother and daughter. The mother's mothering was also poor. She failed to protect her daughter from witnessing the spousal abuse (as well as the couple's sexual relations). The mother didn't really love her husband; she was addicted to him. The "two peas in a pod" line used multiple times in the book was a way of holding her daughter close, just at a time when she should have been individuating. However, I have to say, I was in tears at the end of the book. So, VERY flawed psychology in the book, not at all up to the bar that The Nightingale had set for her, but a tearful ending.

I’ve read many of Kristin Hannah’s books so was anxious for this one. It was not my favorite but it was good. I learned a lot about Alaska however the first half of the book I found repetitive about Alaska. Very descriptive which I like, but maybe 50pages or so too much description. The second half of the book was fantastic. A lot happened in this story -characters were well defined, the plot was twisting, sad and happy and also horrifying at times. There was a happy ending which made it worth the read and thinking back on it, I really did enjoy it. I do recommend -the author is a great writer. CH

Emotional Read

Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

From the fear of moving, yet again, with an unstable father and the mother who loves him, to the great unknown of Alaska without the knowledge and skills needed to survive, to feeling the awe, beauty, cruelty, fear, isolation, exhaustion, majesty and the desperate will to survive, not only the desolate land and all its ways to destroy you, but your own father- who may or may not destroy your mother, you, or both- this novel has touched every emotion a reader can feel. It’s the coming of age story of a girl raised in fear but also love, transplanted to a land where fear is not your enemy but a friend to be respected, learning who she is and learning how to find love and acceptance for those who have hurt her the most, but especially for herself and the choices she didn’t feel she had the choice not to make. I haven’t shed so many tears, reading a book, in a very long time!! I’d love to see this novel turned into a movie, capturing it’s beauty and the beauty that is Alaska.

Another masterpiece from Kristin Hannah

Reviewed in Canada on December 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

As teens, Cora and Ernt fall in love and like so many kids, have a child themselves. Their daughter's name is Leni. Ernt is called up to join the war in Vietnam. He's captured and returns a broken man. He has become aggressive to Cora and at times abusive. When things are good and he's in control they have a happy life. When he is caught up in his rage, they all suffer So they travel from place to place until Ernt gets fired or needs to run two steps ahead of the law. They end up in Alaska, the Last Frontier and accept a plot of land and a shacky cabin in the woods from an old veteran friend of his who has since died. There they all have to learn to survive not just the harsh Alaska climate, but each other. Cora and Leni make some friends from the small community of neighbors fringing their world. Leni goes to school and meets the only other child in her age group, which is thirteen, Matthew. the son of one of their closest neighbors The Walker family.
As time passes the females seem to be able to handle the brutal weather, stark living accomodations and foraging and growing food. Leni and her mother learn to use weapons to defend themselves from the wild beasts roaming the land. But it seems that Ernt is becoming the wildest and most unpredictable of them all.

From that point on survival is key. Proven friendships are critical and teen age angst turns to love. The book is bittersweet.
I stayed up all night and could not stop reading and crying and then reading some more and sobbing again. The only other book I can remember crying about was the Nightingale. And Kristin Hannah wrote that as well. She's my hero and a tremendous writer. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

Riveting Story

Reviewed in Canada on September 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but I was desperate for something to read and it sounded interesting in the description. The story itself is quite riveting and it was hard not to get emotional while reading it; feeling the anger and frustration for the female lead and wanting to scream at other characters in the book and feeling the twist and pull of heartbreak was a re-occuring scenario as a reader. I found the writing itself to be a little lack-luster with lots of repetitiveness which stood out to me. That being said, it was easy to follow and was an overall great read that was, at times, hard to put down.

Every so often a book comes along that sucks you in, and you gladly let yourself be enveloped by the sadness, the thrill, the anger, the wonder. I’m sure you’ve heard of this book by now, but if you haven’t, read it and clear your schedule. It’s harrowing, wild and will likely make you sob especially if you’ve been touched by loss or trauma but not in a way that leaves you hollow. It’s haunting but not scary. You will get lost in the Alaskan wilderness in the 1970’s. It’s “Into the Wild” meets “Glass Castle” but every morsel is fictitious. I devoured it and felt the imprint of the characters lingering in my mind for days.

Creaky machinery throughout a relatively readable "hero's journey" novel.

Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is relatively readable, so I gave it 3 stars. It's major faults are that tends to drop into Explaining Alaska pretty often, but regional partisan writers do tend to do that. However, what cost me real trouble reading this were the rather too obvious plot setups. People don't tend to have individual characters so much as they are a collection of 'please note this useful fact/trait because it will be important later' plot propulsion devices. Same with events: You can see a mile away that certain things are only happening in order to maneuver characters into situations that can propel the plot, which did not not lead to the kind of believability that I would require to be able to to embrace this story.

A hilly read of likes and boredom

Reviewed in Canada on December 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the second novel I've read by Hannah; "The Nightingale" left me wanting to read more by the author, but this novel was not as compelling as the aforementioned. The characters are certainly likable enough and face tribulations, coupled with camaraderie, that make them rounded; they're the sort you come to root for, or condemn with satisfaction. However, I found the pitfall of this novel to be it's length, and was not attached to the unravelling aftermath of the story's turning point the same as I was with the beginning of the novel. That said, aspects of it appealed to my awe of Alaska and desire for homesteading, and would still recommend it, but for a slow read rather than as a voracious page-turner.

Absolutely Excellent book and such a nice way to learn about living in Alaska in that time period. I loved the characters and storyline though it was quite sad at some points. This described how terrible the effects of war especially Vietnam were on young men, it ruined them for life because they were not given help, support or any acknowledgement that they had been mentally harmed. It almost read like a true story.

This book was my most disappointing read of 2018, after reading the nightingale I was so excited to read this one from Kristen Hannah, but about half way through the book I realized this book was going to fall so very short of the previous book I’d read by the same author. In short, if you loved the Nightingale, you probably won’t love this book. I hate to leave a book unfinished so I struggled through it to the end, it was dreadful. It’s like the author ran out of a story and just started making up the craziest scenarios, I felt like I was reading the script of a low budget “coming of age teeny bopper movie” or something! If you are on the fence, I’m just going to help you out and tell you to move along...don’t waste your time...
