bkezele 's review for:
The Eights
by Joanna Miller
This book takes a look into what it would be like to accidentally, or forcefully, be made a historical figure. Four women find themselves writing history when they become part of the first group of women to attend Oxford (and eventually graduate with true degrees). Thrown together on Floor 8 of their living quarters, they quickly become inseparable despite coming from vastly different socioeconomic and familial backgrounds. This story perfectly blended the strength of female relationships in a male dominated (and often hostile) environment and the effects of WWI on the world these girls found themselves in. I went into this book blind and ended it feeling as if these four girls were my own friends and confidants.
