It solidified my opinion about the book and people’s complaints that the author neglected to tell the mother’s story, failed to show her trauma. Yes, it is her story, but in the true spirit of Ma’s character, it’s not about her. It’s about Jack. He is her world. He is everything good in her life. Yes, she is broken, but she does her best not to fall apart until Jack is safe and someone other than him is there to pick up the pieces. We see all of this through Jack’s eyes and his limited understanding of the world. I believe that the author handled it delicately, honestly, and beautifully. Telling the story through Ma’s eyes would have been so much different, so much pain. I am not sure that I could have handled it. Jack’s narration sets the tone as not one completely devoid of hope and wonder. I loved it. SAVE ON SHIPPING: Additional books ship for $1.00 each Between the Covers!
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.
