Traditional Chinese edition of Room, a powerful and engaging story by Emma Donoghue. The novel is based on a motif from a 2008 world shocking crime of a 73 year old Austrian man Josef Fritz who locked his daughter in the basement for 24 years and she had her father's child. But in this story Donoghue is not focused on a stimulating descr iption of a horrible crime but rather a refined illumination from the victim's perspective, a woman who had a child from a kidnapper and her son, five-year-old Jack, raised in captivity.
