The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah + Adaptation Talk
In this episode of Dragons and Spaceships, Brandi explores The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah — a raw, emotional story of survival, love, and the strength it takes to endure both wilderness and heartbreak. Set in the rugged beauty of Alaska, this novel asks what happens when isolation becomes both a sanctuary and a prison.
Brandi breaks down the book’s unforgettable themes, its complex characters, and why The Great Alone continues to capture readers’ hearts years after its release. She also shares exciting news about The Nightingale movie adaptation finally coming to life — and gives her honest reaction to the new film version of The Woman in Cabin 10 (spoiler: Kiera Knightley brings the chaos perfectly).
Whether you love atmospheric survival stories, emotional fiction, or discussions about book-to-film adaptations, this episode has something for every reader.
🎧 Tune in for heartfelt analysis, adaptation updates, and a reminder of why Kristin Hannah’s stories stay with us long after we’ve closed the book.
