Jack is five. He lives in a single, locked room with his Ma. Room by Emma Donoghue is an extraordinarily powerful story of a mother and child kept in isolation, and the desire for, and price of, freedom.

I found this book challenging in a number of ways. The empathy I felt for both the narrator and his victim mother left me emotionally rung out through most of the book. As observed by others, the author often attributed to the 5 year old narrator more adult comprehension about his circumstances. I really did like the book and have recommended to many people.
