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

Excellent story, interesting and gripping.
The story provides an insight into the life and beauty of Alaska as well as the potential danger and wildness of both the land and people. Great story.

Immersive, profound, cruel and beautiful.
The breadth and depth of the writing is extraordinary. You feel the harshness of the Alaskan winter, the unrelenting struggle to survive and the inescapable fear and pain of a family ravaged by violence. It’s a story that you live within, it stays with you and leaves its mark.

Alaska, love and cruelty
Kristin Hannah does two things spectacularly well. She writes well plotted and thought through stories and really makes you care about her protagonists and their troubles. This story was beautifully narrated too with each character distinct in voice and tone.

I could not stop listening
I was worried about the length of the audible story, but it felt like just a few! Wonder story of life of a family’s tragedy and twists and turns. I couldn’t stop listening.
