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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57625536364917,"sku":"9780349141541","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780349141541.jpg?v=1791105482","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9780349141541","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
