But as winter approaches and darkness descends on Alaska, Ernt’s fragile mental state deteriorates and the family begins to fracture. But she hopes that the new land will lead to a better future for her family.Īt first, Alaska seems to be the answer to their prayers. Their thirteen-year-old daughter Leni is caught in the riptide of her parents’ passionate and stormy relationship. The mother, Cora, will do anything and go anywhere for Ernt, even if it means following him into the unknown. He makes the impulsive decision to move his family to Alaska where they will live off the grid in America’s last frontier. The father, Ernt Allbright, is a former POW that comes home from the Vietnam War a changed and volatile man. The story is about a family that moves to Alaska in 1974. And I’m so glad I did! Now I even want to make trip to Alaska. But I kept seeing this book receive so much acclaim that I finally decided to give it a chance. A book about life in Alaska in the ’70s didn’t sound that appealing at first. So, I have a confession: while I loved Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale – I wasn’t originally sold on The Great Alone.
