The May 2019 Sweet Reads Box features a hardcover copy of Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone. I was so excited to open my box and see this because I had The Great Alone on my planned reading list already and the hard copy was just a really nice treat! This is not the first time we’ve seen a Kristin Hannah book included in a Sweet Reads Box, The Nightingale was the featured story in the November 2017 box and it quickly became my favourite book of all time. Can’t wait to read Kristin’s new book! 

 

The Great Alone

 

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 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.

In this unforgettable portrait of human frailty and resilience, Kristin Hannah reveals the indomitable character of the modern American pioneer and the spirit of a vanishing Alaska―a place of incomparable beauty and danger. The Great Alone is a daring, beautiful, stay-up-all-night story about love and loss, the fight for survival, and the wildness that lives in both man and nature.

Sweet Reads Box makes the perfect summer subscription box because a new and carefully chosen book shows up right to your door each and every month. No trip to the bookstore or library is needed! Plus, you’re summer “me time” moment is complete as the box contains both a beverage and a snack for maximum reading on the deck pleasure. All the other goodies in the box are just a really fun surprise and I love how they all tie into the books theme each month. 

 

The boxes do sell out almost every month so the best way to ensure you receive a summer book box is to order the 3 or 6 months subscription.
