The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
There were points in this book where I wanted to throw it away, I was so flustered with anger and frustration with Cora’s actions or lack there of. She was a true victim of domestic abuse and addiction, to the abuse and the need to feel loved in a twisted relationship. She would not leave even for Leni, until she had to.
This book is a testament to immersing your audience in a story. I will admit it took a little bit for me to get fully connected but once I did, I was so interwoven in the story of Leni and Cora.
This was a beautifully raw story of the scars of war and all those it affects. A Vietnam war hero, fighting unseen evil, takes his family to the Great Alone of the wilderness of Alaska. Ernt Allbright was sick and evil.
This novel has a found family in the community that embraced the Allbrights. The people, the wilderness and the love between two young kids made for a beautiful story. This tale is full of raw emotion, domestic abuse, resilience, a community embracing and protecting its own, and redemption with heartache and loss. You will feel it all because Kristin Hannah is a master of storytelling and she invites you into this story with her brilliant words. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did! 5/5⭐
