To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. Itâs where he was born and where he and his Ma eat and play and learn. At night, Ma puts him safely to sleep in the wardrobe, in caseOld Nick comes.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, itâs the prison where Old Nick has kept her for seven years, since she was nineteen. Through ingenuity and determination, Ma has created a life for herself and her son, but she knows itâs not enough for either ofthem. Jackâs curiosity is building alongside Maâs desperation -- and Room canât contain either of them for much longer...
Told entirely in the inventive, often funny voice of Jack, Room is a celebration of the resilient bond between parent and child, and a brilliantly executed novel about a journey from one world to another.
