PRAISE
“A tour de force. There are many great things about this book…It will thrill her fans with its combination of Greek tragedy, Romeo and Juliet-like coming of age story and domestic potboiler. She recreates in magical detail the lives of Alaska’s homesteaders… and is just as specific and authentic in her depiction of the spiritual wounds of post-Vietnam America.”
–KIRKUS (STARRED REVIEW)
“Reliably alluring…The Great Alone is packed with rapturous descriptions of Alaskan scenery… Hannah remembers and summons an undeveloped wilderness, describing a gloriously pristine region in the days before cruise ships discovered it.”
–THE NEW YORK TIMES
“Set in the early 70s, this coming of age story has parallels in the current day and becomes a cautionary tale for our times.”
–THE TORONTO STAR
“Featuring a rich cast of characters and elevated by the riveting portrayal of homesteading in Alaska in the 1970s, this is a compassionate story of a family.”
–People, “Book of the Week”
“Hannah is dominating national bestseller lists once again, with a post-Vietnam family saga that takes place against the harsh but gorgeous Alaskan landscape.”
–Entertainment Weekly, “New and Notable”
“Hannah vividly evokes the natural beauty and danger of Alaska and paints a compelling portrait of a family in crisis and a community on the brink of change.”
–Booklist
“Vivid…Hannah skillfully situates the emotional family saga in the events and culture of the late 70s…tautly drawn characters contribute not only to Leni’s improbable survival but to her salvation amid her family’s tragedy.”
–Publishers Weekly (starred and boxed)
“In this latest from Hannah, the landscape is hard and bleak but our young heroine learns to accept it and discover her true self…fans will appreciate the astuteness of the story and the unbreakable connection between mother and child.”
–LIBRARY JOURNAL
“This epic atmospheric novel examines humans’ will to endure the unthinkable.”
–Real Simple

Kristin, I love your books, and The Great Alone was truly Awesome! I read it months ago and was sad when I finished the book, only because I did not want the story to end. It truly touched my heart. I laughed, I cried and was happy. This is a novel I will read again, and I still think of the story it told. I usually donate my book to our public library, but The Great Alone will remain with me. Thank you so very much for a truly remarkable story. I guess books are like music, in the way that everyone can take something different from it. Please continue to give us more wonderful journeys to go on with your books! Thank you.
19th is a gift. I did not like this book at all and I was so excited to read it because The Nightingale is my favorite book of all time. Great Alone was so depressing. Could not wait to finish it.
The Nightingale is one of my all time favorite books and was the first book of yours that I had read. The Great Alone was certainly different but I loved it, too. The characters and the storyline along with the vivid descriptions of life in Alaska kept me glued to the book until I finished it. Thanks for another great book!
The Great Alone should be much higher than number 19!
“The Great Alone” was an amazing book. It was so deeply crafted. I’ve recommended it to many. The Nightingale was phenomenon. Your writing brings people to the edge while living in someone else’s story.
The Great Alone started off slowly and kept building! The twists were amazing, and the story was very deep! I loved it and I highly recommend it! If anyone wants to discuss this book please let me know!
Books that stay with you are amazing. Finished it months ago and still think of it often. ❤️
It should be, it was awesome! Then I read The Nightingale, now I’m in the middle of Homefront. Reading the list backwards. A month ago I didn’t know of you or your books. Now I’m addicted!
I think you need to be Alaskan to truly appreciate The Great Alone...I know many Leni’s !
The Great Alone should be #1!
Not my favourite book of yours for sure. That was The Nightingale!
Definitely my favorite of yours! Thank u 👍
