Room: Emma Donoghue

Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books

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

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 series showcasing the best of modern literature.
