內容簡介

內容簡介 一個年輕媽媽的牢籠，是她五歲兒子的全世界。我四歲的時候，對這世界一無所知，以為它只是一些故事。我五歲的時候，媽對我吐露真相，說真實的世界大到你無法相信，而房間只是它一個又小又臭的碎片。對五歲的傑克而言，房間就是全世界。這是他出生和成長的地方，他跟媽住在這裡，學習、閱讀、吃飯、睡覺、遊戲。晚上，當老尼克來訪時，媽把他安全地關在衣櫃裡。對傑克來說，房間就是他的整個世界，但對媽而言，卻是老尼克囚禁她七年的監獄。靠著決心、機智和強大的母愛，媽為傑克創造了人生。但她知道這樣是不夠的……對她不夠，對傑克也不夠。她想出一個大膽的脫逃計畫，需要仰賴她兒子的勇氣，以及大量的運氣。她沒想到的是，對這計畫一旦成功會產生什麼樣的後果，自己竟然沒有充分的準備。《房間》全書透過精力充沛、童言童語的五歲傑克的口吻來敘述，它不是一個恐怖故事，也沒有催淚的企圖，而是謳歌親子之間的活潑互動與愛的真諦。五歲的傑克打動了每個人的心，他的聲音、他的遭遇、他的天真、他的幽默、他對媽的愛，使得故事雖然設定在這麼一個令人不安的前提上，仍能處處感受到希望與力量。本中文書介出自《房間》大塊文化出版股份有限公司出版CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF PICADOR BOOKSScared is what you're feeling.
