The Slaves of Solitude is “one of the very best English novels written about th[e] war– yet it contains no descriptions of combat or death and destruction caused by warfare” (David Lodge). Set in 1943 in the fictional town of Thames Lockdon (essentially Henley-on-Thames), the novel follows the experiences of Miss Roach, living in the Rosamund Tea Rooms, a guest house, having left London during the Blitz. A “slave of her task-master, solitude”, something shifts with the appearance at the guest house of a charismatic American Lieutenant.
