A subtle, endlessly engaging tour de force which makes a dazzling virtue of its limited narrative setting, Donoghue's exploration of the mother-son dynamic in the most challenging of circumstances imbues what could have been harrowing and disturbing with hope, care and unconditional love.
Told from the perspective of five-year-old Jack, Emma Donoghue’s Room, is a devastating portrait of a boundless maternal love.
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 .
