Room es una conmovedora novela de Emma Donoghue narrada desde la perspectiva de Jack, un niño de cinco años que vive con su madre en una habitación. Para Jack, la habitación es todo su mundo, pero para su madre es una prisión donde ha estado cautiva durante siete años. A través del amor y la creatividad, la madre crea una vida para Jack dentro de este espacio limitado. Sin embargo, a medida que Jack crece y su curiosidad aumenta, la madre se da cuenta de que la habitación ya no puede contenerlos a ambos, lo que los lleva a planear una audaz fuga hacia el mundo exterior. Esta historia explora temas de amor incondicional, supervivencia y la capacidad de encontrar esperanza incluso en las circunstancias más difíciles.
