Told from the perspective of five-year-old Jack, Emma Donoghue's Room, is a devastating portrait of a boundless maternal love. A major film starring Brie Larson. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Shortlisted for the Orange Prize. 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 . Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
