About The Eights by Joanna Miller
Set in Oxford in 1920, The Eights follows four women in the university’s first class to officially admit female students. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto live in neighboring rooms in Corridor 8 and form a friendship as they pursue their studies and face a world still shaped by the Great War.
Their different backgrounds and private struggles unfold against the pressures of male contempt, lingering wartime grief, and the threat of influenza. Miller’s historical novel will interest readers drawn to women’s education, the history of Oxford, and stories of friendship in the aftermath of war.
