Alaska, 1974.
Unpredictable. Unforgiving. Untamed.
For a family in crisis, the ultimate test of survival.
Ernt Allbright, a former POW, comes home from the Vietnam war a changed and volatile man. When he loses yet another job, he makes an impulsive decision: he will move his family north, to Alaska, where they will live off the grid in America’s last true frontier.
Thirteen-year-old Leni, a girl coming of age in a tumultuous time, caught in the riptide of her parents’ passionate, stormy relationship, dares to hope that a new land will lead to a better future for her family. She is desperate for 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
At first, Alaska seems to be the answer to their prayers. In a wild, remote corner of the state, they find a fiercely independent community of strong men and even stronger women. The long, sunlit days and the generosity of the locals make up for the Allbrights’ lack of preparation and dwindling resources.
But as winter approaches and darkness descends on Alaska, Ernt’s fragile mental state deteriorates and the family begins to fracture. Soon the perils outside pale in comparison to threats from within. In their small cabin, covered in snow, blanketed in eighteen hours of night, Leni and her mother learn the terrible truth: they are on their own. In the wild, there is no one to save them but themselves.

總體來說在我聽完Chapter26 (total Chapter 32) :非常暗黑、異常沉重、和Alaska的風雪一起捲入記憶的深夜。書中人物在曆經環境艱苦、傢庭暴力後終於可以拿得起放得下瞭,也有些許對越戰的反思。 語言樸實簡單,有些橋段幾筆一帶場麵宏大。比如剛到來時的Alaska與離彆時的Alask...
評分多虧最近坐瞭兩次長途飛機纔把這本厚厚的書啃完。作者把阿拉斯加的風景和人文描寫得栩栩如生,看完更想去那看極光吃三文魚。隻可惜故事本身有點薄弱,有些老套不夠精彩。書裏把阿拉斯加和主人公的命運聯係在瞭一起,Leni和她媽媽都把阿拉斯加當成真正的傢,她們都覺得在那纔能...

圖書標籤: 英文原版 美國 阿拉斯加 成長 小說 KristinHanna 英文原文 七十年代
最美的不是其中的一個個人物,而是人與自然交織起的阿拉斯加,這片孤獨的土地,這些孤獨的人和故事。
評分marthew太慘
評分阿拉斯加,美國人民心中的西藏
評分在冰天雪地的阿拉斯加dump the body那一段寫的非常美麗瞭。有機會一定要去一次阿拉斯加。The harsh and uncompromising wildness and the Great Alone.
評分3.5啦,通過這本書感覺認識瞭阿拉斯加。我很喜歡男女主fall in love那些情節,但小說到瞭後麵的情節很不make sense啊
