About this listen
A haunting feminist sci-fi masterpiece and international bestseller that is as absorbing as Robinson Crusoe (Doris Lessing)
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.

brilliant and moving
the best description of solitude and the connection we have with the nature around us. a book about a woman, a dog, a cat and a cow that is more thrilling and touching then 90 percent of the books i’ve read in my life. it left me heartbroken but also with a sense of hope and quiet joy. i don’t understand why this author is so little known.

I felt at home in this world .
Recently I read an other book called ‘ I who have never known Men’. Although differently both books tell the story of a Woman who lives on her own in an abandoned World. I felt at home in these Worlds . And at time it was as if I heard my own voice in these books .
The voice of the narrator is pleasant to listen to. As a non native English speaker I loved the warmth of the sound and the clarity of the pronunciation.
