The Rosamund Tea Rooms boarding house, where she lives with half a dozen others, is as grey and lonely as its residents. For Miss Roach, ''slave of her task-master, solitude'', a shaft of not altogether welcome light is suddenly beamed upon her, with the appearance of a charismatic and emotional American Lieutenant. With him comes change - tipping the precariously balanced society of the house and presenting Miss Roach herself with a dilemma.","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57567437095247,"sku":"9780349141541","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/slaves-of-solitude-the","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
