Looking for a good read? Our book club is reading "Room" by Emma Donoghue.
This novel gained a spot on the Man Booker Prize shortlist. Donoghue places the narrative in the hands of the child born into a 12鈥� x 12鈥� room, the only home he鈥檚 ever known. Five year old Jack is tremendously enticing. His mother, kidnapped seven years earlier while walking through her college campus, has created a world for her son that is rich in play, all the while anticipating the day they might make their great escape.
This environment has provided Jack with an impressive vocabulary, though his advanced learning is juxtaposed with the natural innocence and bewilderment of a small child. The result is a story told through a child鈥檚 eyes, but in language that is endearing.
Come on down and check out this book, as well as many more.
