Room by Emma Donoghue
This book from the winter warmers collection was compulsive reading. Narrated by five year old Jack, the harrowing storyline slowly unfolds in a stunningly original writing style which creates a psychologically very thought provoking story. It is very hard to write convincingly from the perspective of a five year old and even harder to portray the struggle to live in the world after living totally in Room. I thought this was a startling and brilliantly conceived book which was very moving as the mother, son relationship changed.
