From Emma Donoghue comes a powerful and deeply moving story of survival, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.

For five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world.

It’s where he was born, where he lives, and where he learns about everything—from games and stories to the routines that shape his days. But what Jack doesn’t know is that Room is not the whole world… it’s a prison.

His mother, Ma, has been held captive for years, doing everything she can to protect Jack from the truth while keeping him safe, loved, and alive. As Jack begins to grow and question their reality, Ma realises they can no longer stay hidden—and together, they must attempt a daring escape into a world Jack has never known.

Told through Jack’s innocent and unique perspective, this story is both heartbreaking and hopeful, exploring trauma, freedom, and the strength of human connection.

Raw, emotional, and unforgettable, Room is a testament to survival and the power of love in the darkest of circumstances.
