Nine years. That's how long Richard and Mildred Loving had to fight just to live together as husband and wife in the state of Virginia, their case traveling all the way to the Supreme Court. Ms. Powell recounts their travails in alternating pages, in spare but beautiful verse that makes you feel as if this couple, who were really quite ordinary but lived in a time when what we see as such today would have been extraordinary . . . or illegal, are right in the room with you, telling you their story.

Many intriguing storylines to follow
Plenty of accurate cultural and time period related storylines
Interesting and diverse characters
Rare gem
The movie revolves around one hotel room over the case of several decades, from its inaugural tenants, to a chilling scenario on New Year's Eve of the new millennium. A masterpiece from Canada which is a rare find but totally worth it.

Virginia Woolf, Suzanne Raitt | 2007 | Essays

"Well, it’s hard to say which Virginia Woolf I would choose since she is of all writers the one who most clearly articulates the world as I live in and perceive it. But I think I would say that the particular sadness of Jacob’s Room somehow reminds me of myself when life has taken me away from myself. “Their lack of concern for him was not the cause of his gloom, but some more profound conviction—it was not that he himself was lonely, but that all people are.”"
