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.

读后感
多亏最近坐了两次长途飞机才把这本厚厚的书啃完。作者把阿拉斯加的风景和人文描写得栩栩如生，看完更想去那看极光吃三文鱼。只可惜故事本身有点薄弱，有些老套不够精彩。书里把阿拉斯加和主人公的命运联系在了一起，Leni和她妈妈都把阿拉斯加当成真正的家，她们都觉得在那才能...

评分总体来说在我听完Chapter26 (total Chapter 32) ：非常暗黑、异常沉重、和Alaska的风雪一起卷入记忆的深夜。书中人物在历经环境艰苦、家庭暴力后终于可以拿得起放得下了，也有些许对越战的反思。 语言朴实简单，有些桥段几笔一带场面宏大。比如刚到来时的Alaska与离别时的Alask...

Sometimes family is like a cage.
评分故事并非多么的出奇，但语言的细腻真切，着实令人着迷。不知道为什么，读的过程中一直在想，如果拍成影视，Leni父亲和Jon Hamm在广告狂人末期英俊却颓废的样子很契合

评分3.5颗星。非常像小说的一本小说。没有什么悬念。情节也不是很吸引人。有着相似命运的母女俩，却走上不同的人生轨道。“Peas in a pod. Two of a kind." 另一方面，书中花了大篇幅描写阿拉斯加的生活，一切都要自己动手来应对残酷的冬天，从储存食品到对付凶猛的野兽。“Alaska isn't about who you were when you headed this way. It's about who you become."
