When you are keen on novels about love and loss, this might well be your next pick. The Great Alone is a novel that is hard to put down, so well written is it, so full of beauty and (looming) disasters. You will get to know Alaska at its best and worst. You will follow the path full of obstacles the family of Ernt, Cora and Leni is taking. You get insight in resilience and friendships and you will get many lessons about love and letting go. Because there is so much you can think (and talk) about, this will be a great book club pick too.
