The Great Alone
Kristin Hannah
Expected publication date: February 6, 2018
Alaska, 1974.So that's not much of a description, but I'm still looking forward to this book - Hannah's stories are always very emotional!
Untamed.
Unpredictable.
And for a family in crisis, the ultimate test of the human spirit. - from Goodreads
I've only read one book by Kristin - Night Road - but that one book made me a lifetime fan. I just loved the way she developed such an emotional, moving read. This one sounds really good. It's not everyday you see a book take place in Alaska so I'm intrigued to see how that is worked into the plot. Great pick, Angela!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely adding Night Road to my TBR as well. I had The Great Alone on my Winter TBR list yesterday...I can't wait to read it.
DeleteThanks, Lauren! I'm really excited about the setting, I don't think I've read anything set in Alaska before!
DeleteLovely, lovely cover... I've a soft spot for Alaskan settings:) I hope you enjoy reading this one.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love a good Hannah book and looking forward to this one too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it, Grace!
DeleteI feel hugely out of the loop and am wondering how the heck I missed this author. So excited to have "new to me" author to explore. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, no worries! She has a pretty extensive backlist, so enjoy!
DeleteI've not read any of her books as well but I know they are quite popular. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb!
DeleteI have this on my TBR too and can't wait to read it. The setting alone sold it to me.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? It's a new setting for me.
DeleteI have only read one book by Hannah (The Nightingale). The whole human spirit aspect is something she has proven she can do well.
ReplyDeleteI think The Nightingale was my favorite of hers. The writing style felt very different. She does do emotional stories very well.
DeleteI haven't read anything by this author but I'm intrigued by the vague blurb!!
ReplyDeleteI know, I want to know more!
DeleteI almost went with this one for this week's pic too. I love Kristin Hannah's books and am really excited for this one, although I would love to have more of a synopsis. It surprised me how few details are available so far.
ReplyDeleteI know, I thought by now there'd be more information!
DeleteOooo this sounds so good! I enjoyed The Nightingale, but I'm a little worn out of reading WWII historical fiction. Exciting that her newest is set during a time period that isn't' covered as often.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a pretty new time period and setting for me!
DeleteNever heard of that book or the author. But it seems that she knows how to write a emotional novel. And the setting is quite promising. Hope you´ll enjoy your pick.
