    "Fifty years after the Vietnam War, this anthology by descendants of Vietnam veterans and refugees--American, Vietnamese, Vietnamese Diaspora, Hmong, Australian, and others--confronts war and its aftermath. What emerges is an affecting portrait of the effects of war and family--an intercultural, generational dialogue on silence, memory, landscape, imagination, Agent Orange, displacement, postwar trauma, and the severe realities that are carried home. Including such acclaimed voices as Viet Thanh Nguyen, Karen Russell, Terrance Hayes, Suzan-Lori Parks, Nick Flynn, and Ocean Vuong, Inheriting the War enriches the discourse of the Vietnam War and provides a collective conversation that attempts to transcend the recursion of history."--Publisher's website

    Alaska, 1974. Nieobliczalna. Bezlitosna. Dzika. Dla rodziny w kryzysie jest to ostateczny test na przetrwanie. Ernt Allbright, były jeniec wojenny, wraca do domu po wojnie w Wietnamie całkowicie. Kiedy traci kolejną pracę, podejmuje impulsywną decyzję: przeniosą się całą rodziną na północ, na Alaskę, gdzie będą żyli bez prądu i wody-- w ostatniej dzikiej części Ameryki. Dorastająca trzynastoletnia Leni, dziewczynka w trudnym wieku, uwikłana w burzliwy związek rodziców, ma nadzieję, że w nowej krainie czeka lepsza przyszłość dla rodziny. Jej matka, Cora, zrobi wszystko i pójdzie wszędzie dla mężczyzny, którego kocha, nawet jeśli oznacza to pójście w nieznane. Na początku Alaska wydaje się być odpowiedzią na ich modlitwy. W dzikim, odległym zakątku kraju odnajdują się wśród niezależnej społeczności silnych mężczyzn i kobiet. Ale wraz z nadejściem 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--
