Held
captive
for
years
in
a
small
shed,
a
woman
and
her
precocious
young
son
finally
gain
their
freedom,
and
the
boy
experiences
the
outside
world
for
the
first
time.
To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world. . . . It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.
Roomis a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilarating--a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child.

Recenzii
"Emma
Donoghue's
writing
is
superb
alchemy,
changing
innocence
into
horror
and
horror
into
tenderness.Roomis
a
book
to
read
in
one
sitting.
When
it's
over
you
look
up:
the
world
looks
the
same
but
you
are
somehow
different
and
that
feeling
lingers
for
days."—Audrey
Niffenegger,
author
of
The
Time
Traveler's
Wife
and
Her
Fearful
Symmetry
"I lovedRoom. Such incredible imagination, and dazzling use of language. And with all this, an entirely credible, endearing little boy. It's unlike anything I've ever read before."—Anita Shreve, author of The Pilot's Wife and A Change in Altitude
