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.
评分背景是七十年代的阿拉斯加，情节略俗，母女在患PTSD的家暴父亲折磨下一步步变强大，更准确说是母女俩对彼此的爱让对方更坚强的故事。作者对环境的描写非常优美，对人物情感也表达的十分细腻，虽然情节非常小说化，但是还是禁不住陷入到书中人物的情感里，孤独的土地上演着孤独的戏。整体感觉像最近读过的Educated（但是Educated是自传啊）
评分marthew太惨
评分在冰天雪地的阿拉斯加dump the body那一段写的非常美丽了。有机会一定要去一次阿拉斯加。The harsh and uncompromising wildness and the Great Alone.
评分挣脱父亲阴影那部分很像educated 爱情故事的部分美好又狗血 很多人诟病这本书中用了太多烂俗的小说桥段 但都不影响我对它的喜爱 因为背景是阿拉斯加 那种toughness 那种原始和粗糙 不断把我带回那片神奇的土地 虽然故事情节可以预料 但是作者的写作功力真的很棒 尤其是对环境的描写 还是很值得一读的 啊 什么时候还要再去阿拉斯加！
