Room is a profoundly moving novel told from the perspective of a five-year-old boy named Jack who has lived his whole life in one single room. The room is about 12-by-12 feet, but for Jack and his mother it's their entire world. He has no idea he is being held captive and he's completely unaware of the fact that there is life beyond these four walls. To him, it's home. To his mother, it's a prison.
