The Eights - Joanna Miller - książka
Producent: Fig Tree
In 1920 Oxford, a groundbreaking event unfolds as the renowned university opens its doors to female students for the first time in a millennium. Four young women, each driven by their own dreams of equality, education, and liberation, find themselves neighbors on Corridor Eight. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they form an unexpected yet profound friendship that enriches their lives. Dora, who never envisioned attending university, has taken the place of her brother and fiancé, both casualties of war. Beatrice, influenced by her politically active suffragette mother, views her time at Oxford as an opportunity to establish her own identity and friendships. Otto, a socialite, fills her space with opulence in hopes it will help her forget the haunting memories of wartime. Meanwhile, Marianne, intelligent and reserved, arrives with a secret she must keep hidden from everyone, even her new friends, to ensure her success. The historic atmosphere of Oxford is not without its challenges; misogyny, the lingering threat of influenza, and the specters of World War I cast long shadows. As these four navigate this era of change, their friendship becomes an essential support amid the uncertainty.
