The Eights The captivating debut historical novel following the first women to study at Oxford University

In 1920, Oxford University admitted female students for the first time. The Eights, volume one in the series, introduces four young women assigned to Corridor Eight. Dora, arriving in place of her lost brother and fiancé, never expected to attend university. Beatrice, daughter of a suffragette, seeks her own path. Socialite Otto hides wartime scars, and quiet Marianne carries a secret she must protect. Their unexpected friendship deepens as they strive for equality and education.

Within Oxford’s hallowed halls, misogyny, influenza, and the shadows of the Great War test their bond. This 20th-century literary historical novel celebrates sisterhood, courage, and women’s resilience in a world forever changed. The Eights is a powerful debut of friendship and coming of age.
