Join us for a discussion of Emma Donoghue's novel "Room".
To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world. . . . It's where he was born,
it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, his
Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep
when Old Nick visits.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the
prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love
for her son, she has created a life for him in this
eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building
alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either
much longer.
Room is a tale at once shocking,
riveting, exhilarating--a story of unconquerable love in harrowing
circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her
child.
