Thursday 8th October 2026
We are very excited to welcome Joanna Miller to P&G Wells. Joanna Miller is the author of the bestselling The Eights, which has been the book of the year for several members of our team.
Join us at 7.00pm on Thursday 8 October to hear Joanna discuss her uplifting novel about women attending Oxford University after the First World War,.
There will be an opportunity to ask your questions and get your books signed as well!
The Eights - For the first time in its 1,000-year 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 and find themselves thrust into an unlikely, life-affirming friendship. They have come here from all walks of life, but Dora, Beatrice, Otto and Marianne all long to move on from the Great War, whose ghosts, grief, and secrets still feel very real indeed. But Oxford is a place caught between tradition and change, where centuries of misogyny and exclusion clash with the promise of new freedoms. And as the group navigate this tumultuous moment in time under the city’s dreaming spires, their friendship will become more important than ever.
If you have already read The Eights this promises to be a brilliant evening. If you have yet to discover The Eights you are in for a wonderful treat. Join us to meet this inspiring author.
