“Scared is what you’re feeling. Brave is what you’re doing.” Room by Emma Donoghue is a powerful story of survival, love, and resilience—told through the eyes of five-year-old Jack, who has lived his entire life inside a single locked room with his Ma. For Jack, Room is the whole world. For Ma, it’s a prison she’s determined to escape. This novel is haunting, heart-wrenching, and ultimately hopeful. A story about the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child—and the courage it takes to rebuild life after unimaginable trauma. Read it if you love: — intense, emotional narratives — unique, childlike storytelling perspectives — stories of survival, hope, and healing — books that break your heart and then patch it back together Some stories stay with you long after you close the book. Room is one of them.
