Room
Book (italiano):
"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 and her Fearful Symmetry<BR><BR>"Room is that rarest of entities, an entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can't compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it's potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory."---Michael Cunningham, author of the Hours and By Nightfall<BR><BR>"I loved Room. Such incredible imagination, and dazzling use of language. And with all this, an entirely credible, endearing little boy. It's unlike anything I've ever read before."---Anita Shreve, author of the Pilot's Wife and A Change in Altitude<BR><BR>"Room is one of the most profoundly affecting books I've read in a long time. Jack moved me greatly. His voice, his story, his innocence, his love for Ma, combine to create something very unusual and, I think, something very important. I read the book over two days, desperate to know how their story would end.... Room deserves to reach the widest possible audience."---John Boyne, author of the Boy in the Striped Pajamas<BR><BR>It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. There are endless wonders that let loose Jack's imagination---the snake under Bed that he constructs out of eggshells, the imaginary world projected through the TV, the coziness of Wardrobe below Ma's clothes, where she tucks him in safely at night in case Old Nick comes.<BR><BR>Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held since she was nineteen---for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in that eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But Jack's curiosity is building alongside her own desperation---and she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.<BR><BR>Told in the poignant and funny voice of Jack, Room is a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child. It is a shocking, exhilarating, and riveting novel---but always deeply human and always moving. Room is a place you will never forget.
