Synopsis
Longlisted for The Booker Prize 2019.
Kavanagh begins his time patrolling the Wall.
If he's lucky, if nothing goes wrong, he only has two years of this, 729 more nights.
The best thing that can happen is that he survives and gets off the Wall and never has to spend another day of his life anywhere near it. Along with the rest of his squad, he will endure cold and fear day after day, night after night.
But what if something did happen - if the Others came, if he had to fight for his life?
Thrilling and heartbreaking, The Wall is about a troubled world you will recognise as your own - and about what might be found when all is lost.

External Reviews
"Masterly . . . A signal achievement . . . Remarkable.' - The Guardian.
'A 1984 for our times.' - The Daily Express.
'Framed against the aftermath of a catastrophic climate disaster known as ‘the Change’, Lanchester paints a deeply compelling picture of a divided nation, committed to defending its walls at all costs. The dark heir of his state-of-the-nation novel Capital, The Wall is a Middle England dystopia for our fractured and uncertain times. A thrillingly apposite allegory of Broken Britain that asks key questions about the choice between personal freedom and national interest.' - Waterstones.
' . . . the migrant crisis, global warming and the dire generational rift created by Brexit. The results are cracking.' - The Mail.
'The Wall is a cracking adventure and an astute political fable.' - The Times.
