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

We just got back from visiting Alaska last Friday. There were no fires then. I know they have been on and off. I’m so sad this is happening again.
Thank you
Thank you & stay safe
Prayers for the safety of the firefighters and for success in extinguishing the fires.
So sad and thank you be safe...
Prayers. I did not know there were fires either.
My home State, so very sad and praying for relief ☹️
Wow thanks to firefighters for their bravery. God bless
So sad, many prayers!
Wow...I didn’t know this. Just learned yesterday of the fires in the Amazon also. Sad!
Why am I just learning of this??? Was in Alaska last year.... so beautiful !!!
It’s been a very dry and hot summer here in Alaska. I live in Soldotna and the smoke from the Swan Lake fire has been awful. Hoping for rain.
Amen 🙏
Prayers..🙏
God bless those who are fighting these fires🙏
Prayers ❤️
Praying!
This is very sad 🙏

It is sad to see this happen again but for the men and woman out fighting it Thank You and God Bless you all.
We took a tour into Denali last month and our eyes were stinging from the smoke when we reached Kantishna. In Anchorage we could not see the mountains through the smoke, and it was 88 degrees. It's been a sad, horrible year for Alaska. Praying for the firefighters and for the people and animals of Alaska. 😢
This is the first I’ve heard too. Why is this not being reported?
Praying
🙏
