Mixing fact with fiction, Joseph O’Connor’s re-imagining of the 1907 love affair between the beautiful young Abbey Theatre actress Molly Allgood and the dying Irish playwright John Millington Synge is a spellbinding read.

A small boy wakes up on the morning of his birthday in a state of anticipation. He has reached five, a magical age, and his beloved mother is going to spoil him with treats and cake. Jack, the bright, babbling child narrator of Emma Donoghue’s Man Booker-longlisted Room, lives with his Ma in a seemingly cosy Wendy-house world.

The title is derived from the codename for a remote, mountainous military outpost, a "firebase", near the demilitarised zone (DMZ) separating North and South Vietnam and the Laos border, not unlike the notorious Hill 937, or Hamburger Hill.

They are led by a young second lieutenant named Waino Mellas, who has much in common with Marlantes: an Ivy League graduate from rural Oregon who adheres to the values of his childhood rather than the smart, east coast radicalism of his Princeton roommates.
