CBC's 100 Best Canadian Novels ~ Room

Image result for Room book

Room is a novel by Emma Donoghue. The story is told from the perspective of a five-year-old boy, Jack, who is being held captive in a small room along with his mother. I think Donoghue put a lot of though and effort into creating Jack's "voice." And just as the cover says, the book is absolutely riveting. 

Room won or was nominated for many literary awards and has been made into a movie which released in 2015.  I have not yet seen the movie.
