Room by Emma Donaghue will be the book discussed on Thursday, June 30th in the Library.
"Room" is told through the eyes of "Jack" a five year old who has spent his entire life living with his "Ma" in a room where they have been held captive. Although he has watched TV, and has learned to read and write, his concept of "outside" and life is colored by his limited experience and his (and his mother's) creativity and imagination. This is a fascinating look at perception, resiliance, creativity and the power of love.
