Description - Room by Emma Donoghue

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF PICADOR BOOKS

Scared is what you're feeling. Brave is what you're doing.

It's Jack's birthday, and he's excited about turning five.

Jack lives with his Ma in Room, which has a locked door and a skylight, and measures 11 feet by 11 feet. He loves watching TV, and the cartoon characters he calls friends, but he knows that nothing he sees on screen is truly real - only him, Ma and the things in Room. Until the day Ma admits that there's a world outside . . .

Told in Jack's voice, Room is the story of a mother and son whose love lets them survive the impossible. Unsentimental and sometimes funny, devastating yet uplifting, Room by Emma Donoghue is a novel like no other.

Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.
