When I picked up this book I didn’t know what to expect at all.
At first when I realized it was just a report of a woman’s occupations during times of great loneliness, I did some research and understood a bit more about the context.
The reading was slow but very reflective and what kept me going was mostly the animals’ story.
The woman’s love and care for the animals was so deep that Lynx, Pearl, Tiger, Bella, Bull and the mother-cat became characters as well —without thoughts and speech but able to make us feel things.
The Wall is a classic that anyone should pick up one day because it really reflects on loneliness, womanhood, caring and loving.
What marked me the most was the way the story reflected how a woman could never be really alone. She would always find things to care for, herself, her environment and the creatures hanging around.
