Room
Author: Emma Donoghue
Publisher: Harper Collins Canada (2010)
To five-year-old Jack, Room is his entire world. It’s where he was born and where he lives alone with his Ma. Although Room is home to Jack, to Ma it’s a prison where Old Nick has kept her for the past seven years, when she was only 19. Although they have created a life together, just the two of them, Jack begins asking questions about the outside world as Ma struggles to hide the truth from him. Narrated entirely by young Jack, Room is a celebration of the bond between parent and child in the face of adversity. Available at www.chapters.indigo.ca
