At night, Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where Jack is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But Jack's curiosity is building alongside Ma's own desperation--and she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.
