About This Item
Synopsis
Emma Donoghue mines real-life horrors for her daring, subtle and Man Booker short-listed novel. In the hands of this audacious novelist, “Room” is an intensely dramatic read. The first half of the book takes place entirely within a 12-foot-square room in which a woman has spent the last seven years since being abducted at age 19. Raped repeatedly, she now has a five year old son, and it is through his eyes that the talented author tells the story.
