The Wall

A Novel

John Lanchester

In a world ravaged by environmental disaster, an island nation builds an enormous concrete Wall around its coastline to protect itself. Joseph Kavanagh is a new Defender tasked with protecting his section of the Wall from the Others, desperate souls trapped outside the Wall who pose a constant threat. As Kavanagh struggles to fulfill his duties and form relationships with his fellow Defenders, a dark part of him wonders if he'd welcome an attack and the chance to fight for his life.
