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

Time—ok, way past time for a haircut. When did they start serving wine??? I am going to come more often now...
2 days ago
In Kenai Alaska, I get Baileys in my coffee. I tend to like that. Enjoy your relaxing time at the salon, you deserve it.
They probably get fewer complaints that way :-)
And, is this nice haircut so that you'll look super fresh when you're announcing the new premiere date of The Nightingale movie!?
Always!! Light snacks as well at my spa.
When is The Nightengale going to be in theatres?
Okay this is the second time this week I've seen someone share picture of themselves or their salon and talk about how they're drinking wine while at the hair salon. How is this not happening where I live?!
I'm definitely talking to my stylist on Friday about the wine thing. Thanks for the heads up.
Give me wine and rub my head .... I could care less what I look like after
Wine? A nice perk. Hope you are writing something great for us to read this summer .....?????
When is your next book ? I just read Fly Away. Need more!
So, you get the wine thing 😉
They serve wine, so you won’t mind too much when you find out how much your service costs! Lol
Nail shops serve wine now too
If my salon served wine, I’d never leave!! 😂
What?! Wine! Oh yes! Enjoy being a bit pampered!
I friend open a wine/beer plus boutique in her sister shop 🥰🥰 i have spent so much money on clothes.. so much fun 🥰
That's funny. (But I would rather drink at home reading one of your books)
The more you pay for a haircut, the more often you may get wine. I don't get mine cut more than every three months -- no wine!
Very nice! I need to find a place like that! BTW- love your books!!
Wine gets me to Salon every 6 weeks and i book a year at a time! Cheers!
That's so you don't complain about the cut! LOL
We serve wine and snacks have since we opened 13 years ago❣️😍
My salon does and also snacks
Don't cut your hair
My salon DID, until one spoilsport complained. The salon got some legal advice and the requirements were such a PITA that they took it away. 😭
