Today I´m five. I was four last night going to sleep in Wardrobe, but when I wake up in Bed in the dark I´m changed to five, abracadabra.

Jack lives with his Ma in Room. Room has a single locked door and a skylight, and it measures ten feet by ten feet. Jack loves watching TV but he knows that nothing he sees on the screen is truly real - only him, Ma and the things in Room. Until the day Ma admits there is a world outside.

Devastating yet uplifting, Room by Emma Donoghue is a luminous portrait of a boundless maternal love. It has sold more than two million copies, was a number one bestseller and was shortlisted for the Man Booker and Orange prizes. Few books have reached modern classic status so swiftly.

Emma Donoghue´s writing is superb alchemy, changing innocence into horror and horror into tenderness. Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it´s over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days. Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler´s Wife
