Jack is five. He lives with his Ma. They live in a single, locked room. They don't have the key.

Reviews for Room
Emma Donoghue's writing is superb alchemy, changing innocence into horror and horror into tenderness. Room is 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 Room is one of the most profoundly affecting books I've read in a long time. Jack moved me greatly. His voice, his story, his innocence, his love for Ma combine to create something very unusual and, I think, something very important . . . Room deserves to reach the widest possible audience
John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas I've never read a more heart-burstingly, gut wrenchingly compassionate novel . . . As for sweet, bright, funny Jack, I wanted to scoop him up out of the novel and never let him go
Daily Mail
This is a truly remarkable novel. It presents an utterly unique way to talk about love, all the while giving us a fresh, expansive eye on the world in which we live
New York Times Book Review
Startlingly original and moving . . . Endearing and as utterly compelling as The Lovely Bones
Scotsman
This book will break your heart . . . It is the most vivid, radiant and beautiful expression of maternal love I have ever read
Irish Times
I loved Room. 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
