‘Entertaining and moving…I came to love these four women as though they were my sisters’ TRACY CHEVALIER
Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its 1000-year history, the world’s most famous university has admitted female students. Four young women move into neighbouring rooms on Corridor Eight
But Oxford’s dreaming spires cast a dark shadow: in 1920, misogyny is still rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War are still very real indeed. And as the group navigate this tumultuous moment in time, their friendship will become more important than ever.
The Eights is a captivating debut novel about sisterhood, self-determination, courage, and what it means to come of age in a world that is forever changed.
