While vacationing in a hunting lodge in the Austrian mountains, a middle-aged woman awakens one morning to find herself separated from the rest of the world by an invisible wall. With a cat, a dog, and a cow as her sole companions, she learns how to survive and cope with her loneliness.

Allegorical yet deeply personal and absorbing, The Wall is at once a critique of modern civilization, a nuanced and loving portrait of a relationship between a woman and her animals, a thrilling survival story, a Cold War-era dystopian adventure, and a truly singular feminist classic.

Review of 'The Wall' on 'Goodreads'

La protagonista se encuentra, de repente, sola en mitad de la montaña. Sabiendo con certeza que nadie vendrá a buscarla, por que todos están muertos, organiza su vida para la supervivencia. Mientras tanto, reflexiona cómo era su vida antes y a lo que ha llegado a ser. A pesar de estar escrito en los años sesenta, resulta un libro muy actual. Algunas de las reflexiones sobre su vida las puedo aplicar perfectamente a la mía.
