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.

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
故事並非多麼的齣奇,但語言的細膩真切,著實令人著迷。不知道為什麼,讀的過程中一直在想,如果拍成影視,Leni父親和Jon Hamm在廣告狂人末期英俊卻頹廢的樣子很契閤
評分背景是七十年代的阿拉斯加,情節略俗,母女在患PTSD的傢暴父親摺磨下一步步變強大,更準確說是母女倆對彼此的愛讓對方更堅強的故事。作者對環境的描寫非常優美,對人物情感也錶達的十分細膩,雖然情節非常小說化,但是還是禁不住陷入到書中人物的情感裏,孤獨的土地上演著孤獨的戲。整體感覺像最近讀過的Educated(但是Educated是自傳啊)
評分適閤聽。情節到後麵略俗,但還是聽得心肝兒發顫…眼淚嘩嘩。

評分阿拉斯加風土人情描寫的非常贊,隻是作者和身邊的人有點太慘瞭一點
