5 Stars (no surprise here) for Kristin Hannah's The Great Alone. I fell in love with Kristin's writing with The Nightingale. Next, I picked up The Four Winds. The Great Alone had been patiently waiting on my TBR shelf. After hearing so many great things about it and being in a book hangover after The Four Winds, I knew it was time.
The Great Alone forged new territory for me as a reader. It created an immersive landscape with characters that are timeless, and themes that are evergreen. Kristin tackles some really heavy topics in The Great Alone. A few are PTSD, child abuse, physical abuse and desertion. The way she uses those topics to pull out hope and show how the light can overcome darkness is unparalleled to anything I've ever read. Trust, hope, belonging, family, friends, community, and bravery run through this book like the fish run through the waters in Alaska.
It's an adventure of heart. You don't need anything but to sit back and let it all unfold. You'll laugh, gasp, ugly cry, and think about so many things.
