«Room» is the contemporary novel by Emma Donoghue, published by Pan Macmillan in a 'Film tie-in' paperback edition (400 pages, in English).
Jack, a five-year-old boy, narrates his life locked in a single room with his mother, which they call Room. Jack's world is limited to that space and to television, until Ma confesses to Jack that an outside exists. The novel is a story about the bond between mother and son, survival, and the desire for freedom.
The novel was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Orange Prize, and this edition is linked to the 2015 film adaptation starring Brie Larson.
For adult readers of literary fiction, especially those seeking stories about motherhood, childhood, and family.
