Summary
Room Emma Donoghue Written entirely from the perspective of a five-year-old boy, Emma Donoghue's much-hyped novel Room, inspired by the Fritzl case, is rewarding and frustrating in equal measures. Young Jack and his mother, Ma, are permanently locked inside a small room - their interaction with the outside world limited to television and occasional visits from the sinister Old Nick.
This genre-bending take on reality is written with verve, beauty and imagination by Donoghue, as she describes the loving but often strained relationship between mother and child, Jack's attempts to make sense of a world he knows little about and how his mother struggles to deal with her fate.See the full content of this document
