![]() ![]() ![]() I am giving below the summary of the story as given in the back cover of the book. I got it, came back and read it for the last few days and finished it yesterday. I decided then that I will go to the bookstore the next day and get the only copy of Donoghue’s book which was there. After returning home, I kept thinking of Emma Donoghue’s book and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. But when I went to the bookstore recently, after browsing for a while and not buying anything (I was on a book-buying ban you might ask what is the point in going to the bookstore if one is on a book-buying ban – I keep asking that question myself and I don’t seem to have an answer :)), I stumbled upon ‘Room’. I had resisted the temptation to read it till now one of the reasons might be because I rarely read Booker Prize winners or nominees – the only Booker Prize winners or nominees that I have read till now are ‘The Sea’ by John Banville and ‘The Inheritance of Loss’ by Kiran Desai. The most recent reason was because it was the favourite to win the Booker Prize this year. Emma Donoghue’s ‘Room’ has been in the limelight for quite some time now. ![]()
