«La Habitación» is the suspense novel by Emma Donoghue, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Five-year-old Jack only knows the world that fits in the room where he lives with his mother: there he was born, plays, learns, and sleeps in the wardrobe when Old Nick arrives. For her, that space has been a prison for seven years, and her love for Jack is mixed with desperation. Together they prepare an escape more risky than they imagine.
The novel was originally published as «Room» in 2010; it was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and adapted into a film in 2015. Translation by Eugenia Vázquez Nacarino.
For adult readers of contemporary fiction and suspense, including reading groups.
