Room 706 A Novel [electronic resource] :
A married woman is trapped with her lover in a hotel under siege: If she knew it would end this way, would it ever have begun? Kate’s children and her husband are her whole world. Since marrying young, she’s dedicated her life to making her little family grow. But in the last few years, she’s carved out something just for herself: hours stolen away with another man. After one midday tryst with her lover, Kate’s double life is thrown into chaos when she turns on the TV to find their hotel has been overtaken by an unnamed, dangerous group. As Kate’s life hangs in the balance, she is faced with “a gripping exploration of the murky grey areas of marriage, relationships, and womanhood” (Hazel Hayes). Room 706 is a “tense exploration of desire” (Alina Grabowski). Raw, unsettling, and deeply human, it compels you to ask: Would I feel guilt, regret...or relief? “Poignant, immersive, and utterly human, I adored this brilliant novel.” —Sarah Jessica Parker, SJP Lit

Trapped in a London hotel room with her lover, a woman must contend with her life and her marriage in this exhilarating debut.
âRoom 706 is as tender as it is surprising, a gripping interrogation of womanhoodâbefore and after marriage and children change our identities. Iâm sure I wonât be the only one nodding my head throughout. I adored this brilliant novel.â âSarah Jessica Parker, SJP Lit?
When asked what matters to her the most, Kate would, of course, say her children and her husband. Because she loves her life. Even when it involves making a costume late into the night, scouring the supermarket for the only bread rolls her children will eat, and working during any spare moment in between. And she has found the way to hang onto her sanity in the process: Hours stolen away, once every few months, to have sex with another man.
Until one such rendezvous when Kate turns on the television to discover that the very London hotel theyâre in has been taken under siege. And with that, she knows that nothing will ever be the same.
In the confines of a room with everything at stake, Kate is left to contemplate what has led her here, in hiding with a man who is not her husband while her beloved family waits at home. An exploration of marriage, identity, and desire, Room 706 traces the complicated story of one womanâs life as she faces what her future might holdâif she even makes it through the day.
