"Very compelling book!"
4 stars"

This is the story of Jack. Remarkably told from a 5 year olds perspective it is the story of the boy who is imprisoned in a small garden shed with his mother and how his relationship with his mother enables him to live his life. Although not a gripping novel, it is a compelling one that leaves you wondering and thinking for many days after finishing it. I think it will stay with me for a long time to come.

Description

Jack is five. He lives with his Ma. They live in a single, locked room. They don't have the key. Jack and Ma are prisoners. 'This book will break your heart ...It is the most vivid, radiant and beautiful expression of maternal love I have ever read' - "Irish Times". 'Startlingly original and moving ...Endearing and as utterly compelling as "The Lovely Bones"' - "Scotsman". 'I've never read a more heart-burstingly, gut wrenchingly compassionate novel ...As for sweet, bright, funny Jack, I wanted to scoop him up out of the novel and never let him go' - "Daily Mail". 'This is a truly remarkable novel. It presents an utterly unique way to talk about love, all the while giving us a fresh, expansive eye on the world in which we live' - "New York Times Book Review".
