Ένα βιβλίο που αποπνέει μια νότα νοσταλγίας για κάτι που σε σημάδεψε,κι ας μην μπορείς να προσδιορίσεις εσύ ο ίδιος ποιο είναι αυτό το "κάτι". Ακόμη κι αν δε βίωσες ποτέ τις συνθήκες επιβίωσης στην Αλάσκα, ακόμη κι αν δε έζησες σε ένα οικογενειακό περιβάλλον που δε σου προσέφερε ποτέ ασφάλεια, η ιστορία αυτή σε κόβει στο μεδούλι. Η Λένι, η 13χρονη ηρωίδα που ακολουθούμε στο μυθιστόρημα, έχει ανάγκη να νιώσει ότι ανήκει κάπου, ότι μπορεί να αποκαλεί κάποιον τόπο σπίτι της. Διαβάζει βιβλία

A touching story of the unconditional and unbreakable love between a mother and her child that is like no other. Very interesting learning about life in Alaska. A great read that is like no other I have read previously.

This is my new favourite book. It may be my fave book of 2018. I could not put it down and stayed up waaaay to late to finish it.

This was my 1st time reading a Kristin Hannah book and I loved it! I was so immersed in the story and cared about most of the characters. The way Alaska was described through out the book made me feel as if I was there. I could picture everything perfectly, maybe one day I will be able to visit this beautiful and mysterious state. I felt so much for Leni and all she had to watch her mother go thru with her father. This book made me cry, made me so angry with Ernt, took me away to a whole other w ...more

Jeg synes det var en helt fantastisk bog. Tåkrummende, rørende og sød historie. Det er absolut ikke den sidste bog jeg læser af Kristin Hannah!
