Bursting with dreams, four young women move into Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto--collectively known as The Eights--come from all walks of life, each searching for an unknown future while holding tight to their secrets. A brash socialite too smart for her own good. A beautiful sister arriving in place of her lost soldier brother. A too-tall daughter desperate to escape her famous suffragette mother. A timid scholarship student with the biggest secret of all. Their unlikely friendship will change them in ways they could never have imagined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the historic spires and hallowed halls, and in the dark shadow of the Great War, the four women must rely on one another to survive a turbulent world where misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of our great loves don't always remain dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e G.P.
