The eights

Miller, Joanna2026
Large Print
Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its history, the world's most famous university has admitted female students. Giddy with dreams of equality, education and emancipation, four young women move into neighbouring rooms on Corridor Eight. They are from all walks of life, and are thrown into an unlikely, life-affirming friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Beatrice, politically-minded daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way for the first time. Socialite Otto fills her room with extravagant luxuries, but fears they won't be enough to distract her from her memories of the war years. And quiet, clever Marianne, the daughter of a village vicar, arrives bearing a secret she must hide from everyone if she is to succeed.
