The Orange Room

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Orange Room by Rosie Price explores the narrow line between passion and control through the story of Rhianne and her journey of self-discovery.

What We Say: “This novel tells the story of a young woman who loses her confidence at art school in London and moves to work in a hotel kitchen in the West Country in the UK. As she navigates the pressures of work and relationships, particularly with a fellow chef, she begins to rediscover herself through her art. The novel explores themes of visibility, fear, and personal growth” -  Pia Brynteson

What They Say: “The Orange Room is a reminder that abusive relationships don’t have to involve smashed glasses or black eyes. The deliberate diminishing of a partner, the dimming of their inner light, is something so many of us have either experienced or witnessed in a friend – and Price reveals it, here, with tender care and quietly devastating accuracy” - Observer
