Room
Emma Donoghue, 2010
A five-year-old narrates his entire universe, which is one room, in a voice that makes a locked world feel vast, funny and alive.
Emma Donoghue
Donoghue wrote the screenplay for the 2015 film adaptation herself, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Feels like tenderness and unease.
The confidence of exactly five years old, stated without a flicker of doubt.
