The Great Alone is my first novel by Kristin Hannah and I am sure it won’t be the last. This is a novel you can’t put down, I fell in love with the author’s style right from the start. Very emotional and heartfelt, at some point I asked myself whether there is a limit to how much pain a family can endure. Apparently not. That the story is set in Alaska, the most remote and dangerous place adds even more to the load of suspense. According to the author’s writing it really must be beautiful up there so far from civilization, alone in nature fending for yourself. It may not be for everyone, especially in winter.
