I wanted to read it from the moment I heard the CBC interview with Emma Donoghue but was (in)patiently waiting for the paperback. (I adore books but if my love cost $30 every time I wouldn't be able to keep groceries in the house.) I was thrilled the moment I saw it peeking from a pile of discounts at a liquidation store - marked down to $11 because the dust jacket had a small tear - a tiny little miracle with my name written all over it.
I read it over two days.
It has changed me.
I'm looking at the world with
Jack eyes and it's fascinating. The perfectly captured five-year-old voice is intoxicating.
Read this book. Read it quickly so that you absorb it into yourself. Never look at a wall or a sink or a tooth the same way again.
Buy it. Borrow it. Download it. Whatever. Just read it.
Uggg the concept just creeps me out. A mother and son locked in a room??? I can not bear it too depressing, I do know she makes it wonderful for him but still. Sorry not going to do it.
