To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it’s where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play.
Kidnapped as a teenage girl, Ma has been locked inside a purpose-built room in her captor’s garden for seven years. Jack has no concept of the world outside and happily exists inside Room with the help of Ma’s games and his vivid imagination.
But Ma knows the outside world is coming for them, and she and Jack are about to face their biggest challenge yet. Told entirely in Jack’s voice, Room is a dark and beautiful story of survival and the extraordinary bond between a mother and son.
