Joanna went on to study English at Exeter College, Oxford and later returned to the University to train as a teacher. After ten years in education, she set up an award-winning poetry gift business. During this time, she wrote thousands of poems to order and her rhyming verse was filmed twice by the BBC. Unable to resist the lure of the classroom, Joanna recently returned to Oxford University to study creative writing. The Eights is her first novel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/d1daad9a-11a5-4c6a-846c-4c2c40e3eac7/joanna+miller+author.jpg About - When Joanna isn’t writing… she is either walking her dog, providing a taxi service for teenagers, or working in the local bookshop.

For the first time in its 1000-year history, the world’s most famous university has admitted female students. Giddy with dreams of equality, education and emancipation, Beatrice, Otto, Dora, and Marianne move into neighbouring rooms on Corridor Eight. They have come here from all walks of life, and they are thrown into an unlikely, life-affirming friendship. 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. They knew they were changing history. They didn’t know they would change each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/1762522348456-KY9H150T9O3SP9NRZTOV/the+eights+joanna+miller+%282%29.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/1762522415780-RFSLQA68D2339WUWM9YL/the+eights+joanna+miller+%283%29.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/1762522512397-TEL4J4KWGTHP4ST4OT9B/the+eights+joanna+miller+%284%29.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/1767901358860-GAV0QDZFYM3430GTTSEK/france.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/1769433730064-5UY979PUL41CIVZ7QPBG/Lithuanian+Cover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/1782223927337-0R7OFQTAOUVBQZ3QOL6K/Eights_new+US+Cover.jpg Books https://www.joannamillerauthor.com/privacy-notice daily 0.75 2024-07-04 https://www.joannamillerauthor.com/extras daily 0.75 2025-11-07 https://www.joannamillerauthor.com/events daily 0.75 2026-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/08bd46da-1d51-40f0-9fc6-237506672554/TE4newig.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/08bd46da-1d51-40f0-9fc6-237506672554/TE4newig.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668152d90744f3084f0a27e7/08bd46da-1d51-40f0-9fc6-237506672554/TE4newig.jpg Events
