Thalia Book Club: Emma Donoghue's Room

Bookseller recommendation

“I always describe this book as the perfect balance between literary fiction and airplane reading. Told through the eyes of a boy who has grown up in captivity, held in a small room with his kidnapped mother, Room is thrilling and thoughtful, and it plays with the mother-child relationship, gender, captivity, postmodernism, television and the media, and the ways in which we come to interpret the world around us. Because this novel is so smart and fast paced, I’d recommend it to those who loved Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl. ”
