Claustrophobic intimacy; expansive love; harrowing escape.

"Room" is a poignant narrative that digs deep into the resilience of the human spirit, bound in the confines of a single room. Emma Donoghue tells a harrowing and hopeful tale that speaks volumes about the bond between a mother and her child, unfolding a world through the eyes of five-year-old Jack. It's a read that remains with you, urging a reflection on the value of freedom and the power of a limitless imagination within physical limits.
