«La habitación» is the novel by Emma Donoghue, published by Debolsillo in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Jack is five years old and has never left the small space he calls his room: there he eats, plays and learns with his mother, convinced that the world goes no further. For her, however, it is the cell where she has been held captive for seven years. The boy's curiosity and his mother's desperation lead them to plan an escape far riskier than they imagine.
The novel was a finalist for the Booker Prize and was adapted into a movie in 2015. This edition belongs to the Best Seller collection from Debolsillo.
For readers of psychological thrillers and family drama seeking an intense story about the relationship between mother and son.
