A stunning, original work that is rightly regarded as one of the best novels of the past 10 years, Room will have you on edge whilst also breaking your heart. Told from the point-of-view of 5-year-old Jack, he has lived his entire life with his Ma in Room. What happens next is shocking and will change the lives of both of them. Worth reading and then watching the Oscar-winning film - Elisa, Book Grocer   'This book will break your heart ...It is the most vivid, radiant and beautiful expression of maternal love I have ever read' - "Irish Times". 'Startlingly original and moving ...Endearing and as utterly compelling as "The Lovely Bones"' - "Scotsman". 'I've never read a more heart-burstingly, gut wrenchingly compassionate novel ...As for sweet, bright, funny Jack, I wanted to scoop him up out of the novel and never let him go' - "Daily Mail". 'This is a truly remarkable novel. It presents an utterly unique way to talk about love, all the while giving us a fresh, expansive eye on the world in which we live' - "New York Times Book Review". ‘Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it’s over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days’ Audrey Niffenegger
