Room 
Emma Donoghue is a novel whose pages turn by themselves as it is thrilling. Yet his subject is far from easy and I even lived for more than 400 pages of great moments of anxiety with Jack and his mom.
To not spoil your reading, I say even less than usual.
But just know that:
- the narrator is Jack, a boy of 5 years.
- Donoghue was partly inspired by the family of Josef Fritzl.
- it is humanly impossible to remain unmoved by the mother-son relationship, central to this story quite poignant (but never maudlin).
Room is currently number 1 in sales in the United Kingdom continued to numerous articles in the Anglo-Saxon (all complimentary) and a nomination in Man Booker Prize 2010. I do not doubt for one moment it will be soon translated into French.
