The Great Alone

I've read The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah which is set in Alaska from 1974.  A Vietnam veteran, Ernt, his wife Cora and 12-year-old daughter Leni move to Alaska to start a new life.  Ernt believes he will overcome his PTSD living in the wilds of Alaska.  It is a very hard life for all of them and becomes more difficult when Ernt cannot leave his demons behind.  Leni falls in love with the son of a wealthy landowner and this causes some friction.  The book then becomes the love story of Leni and Matthew.  An interesting look at the conditions of life in this wild place at that time. 31/2/5
