| The Slaves of Solitude 1940s England is a war zone. But for the residents of Mrs. Payne's boarding house the battlefield is the supper table, and the enemy is the resident of the room next door. Alternately bleak and hilarious, The Slaves of Solitude is a favorite of such writers as Sarah Waters and Nick Hornby. |
