Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years.

At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. It is where he was born and grew up it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world.
