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.
Room is 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.
