The Wall by Marlen Haushofer
Recommended by Kaisa
This book is part of my psyche forever. Written as a retrospective diary by an unnamed middle-aged woman isolated in the Austrian Alps by a mysterious, impassable transparent barrier. Themes of freedom and self-reliance AKA the world has to end for a woman to truly feel free.

Have you read On the Calculation of Volume? It seems thematically related, you might like it.
