Room by Emma Donoghue has been much talked about since it was published. I don't want to give too much away of the plot, but it is the story of Jack who has just turned 5 and who's entire world is Room.
He occupies Room with his mother and they have a routine to keep their days full. While it is not clear to Jack that there is a world outside Room, it is clear to the reader outside the Room the circumstances his mother and then he found themselves in.
Donoghue does a wonderful job of imagining what the world would be like for a child in captivity and what might happen when he is exposed to the World.
She also does an amazing job of telling the story from the point of view of five-year-old Jack.
