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.
