zimy i ciemnościami obejmującymi Alaskę. kruchy stan psychiczny Ernta pogarsza się. Wkrótce niebezpieczeństwa na zewnątrz bledną w porównaniu z zagrożeniami wewnątrz. W ich małej chacie. pokrytej śniegiem. przez osiemnaście godzin nocy. Leni i jej matka poznają straszliwą prawdę: są sami. Na zewnatrz nie ma nikogo. kto by mógł ich uratować.
W tym niezapomnianym portrecie ludzkiej słabości i odporności Kristin Hannah ujawnia niezłomny charakter współczesnego amerykańskiego pioniera i ducha ginącej Alaski – miejsca o niezrównanym pięknie i niebezpieczeństwie. „Wielka samotność” to odważna. piękna. pełna życia opowieść o miłości. stracie i walce o przetrwanie…
