'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

In this unforgettable portrait of human frailty and resilience, Kristin Hannah reveals the indomitable character of the modern American pioneer and the spirit of a vanishing Alaska - a place of incomparable beauty and danger. The Great Alone is a daring, beautiful, stay-up-all-night story about love and loss, the fight for survival, and the wildness of both man and nature.

'A woman has to be tough as steel up here. You can't count on anyone to save you and your children. You have to be willing to save yourselves'

Thirteen-year-old Leni is coming of age in a tumultuous time. Caught in the riptide of her parents' passionate, stormy relationship, she dares to hope that Alaska will lead to a better future for her family and a place to belong. Her mother, Cora, will do anything and go anywhere for the man she loves, even if it means following him into the unknown.

As Leni grows up in the shadow of her parents' increasingly volatile marriage, she meets Matthew. And Matthew - thoughtful, kind, and brave - makes her believe in the possibility of a better life.

'A masterclass' - Karen Swan, author of The Stolen Hours

'A rich, compelling novel of love, sacrifice and survival, as epic as the Alaskan landscape it so vividly describes' - Kate Morton, author of Homecoming

About the Author

Kristin Hannah is an award-winning international number one bestseller with over 25 million copies of her books sold worldwide. The Women, along with her recent novels The Four Winds, The Great Alone and The Nightingale, is already the winner of numerous best fiction awards, and is soon to become a major movie. Her earlier novel Firefly Lane was a number one blockbuster series on Netflix. Kristin's writing has taken readers across multiple eras and to many places, but the thing that connects all of her work is the focus on what it's like being a woman in challenging times. Kristin is a lawyer-turned-writer and is the mother of one son. She and her husband live in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle.
