About this book
While staying at a hunting lodge in the Austrian mountains, a woman discovers an invisible barrier separating her from the surrounding world. Beyond it, ordinary life appears to have stopped. With a dog, a cat and a cow for company, she must learn how to grow food, conserve supplies and endure the changing seasons. Her written account makes daily labour unexpectedly absorbing, while uncertainty about the barrier remains unresolved. Clear-eyed rather than spectacular, this survival novel explores dependence, solitude and responsibility through the practical demands of keeping herself and the animals alive.
