Este es sin duda otro que se suma a mis favoritos, no sólo en el género de ficción histórica, sino en todo aspecto. Este es uno de los mejores libros que he leído en un largo tiempo y sin duda quiero leer TODOS los libros que ha escrito Kristin Hannah. CINDO ESTRELLAS DE ACÁ A LA LUNA.

“It’s scary that people can just stop loving you, you know?”

La sinopsis me dejó esta idea al principio: una chica incomprendida cuyo padre vuelve de la guerra de Vietnam y deciden mudarse a Alaska en un intento de "sanar". Y mucho Vietnam y mucho Alaska. Pero esto es mucho más que esto. Déjenme dar más detalles. Esta última novela de Kristin Hannah no decepciona. Sí, tenía miedo de que no fuera tan buena como la otra que he leído suya, pero esta es diferente. Más poderosa incluso. "THE GREAT ALONE" ES UNA MARAVILLA. Es una historia de amor, una historia de la familia, del romance juvenil, de ser un adolescente, de lidiar con la vida cada día, de SANAR, de seguir adelante, de crecer y entender. ES UNA HISTORIA SOBRE PERTENECER a todas esas cosas y formarse gracias a ellas, y de pertenecer CON alguien. Y a un lugar al que podemos llamar hogar. ESTA ES UNA DE LAS HISTORIAS MÁS REALISTAS Y CONMOVEDORAS QUE HE LEÍDO EN MI VIDA Y SIN DUDA QUIERO LEERLA DE NUEVO. Es magnífica.

“like all fairy tales, theirs was filled with thickets and dark places and broken dreams, and runaway girls.”

Este no es un libro feliz. No es un libro tierno y romántico. ES REAL Y ES IMPORTANTE Y MERECE MÁS DE 1000 ESTRELLAS Y TE ROMPE EL CORAZÓN.

DEBEN LEERLO.

“She saw how love could be dangerous and beyond control. Ravenous.”

Loved it! All the emotions. I didn’t love the domestic violence in it, but it made the story what it is.

This book was hard to put down from start to finish. Yet, at points I needed to put it down in order to breathe. Heart-filling and heart-breaking over and over. I loved the descriptions of Alaska (I’ve never been) and it’s rugged beauty and determined people. Highly recommend!
