Best novel I’ve read all year
Slow beginning, but compelling after a few chapters. The description of Alaska was done beautifully. The story of the Allbright family was intriguing. They loved, they planned, and Cora and daughter, Leni, were victims of abuse. Kristen Hannah outdid herself here.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
