Haslemere Bookshop presents an evening with Joanna Miller, author of The Eights, at Haslemere Museum

About The Eights:

“Following the unlikely friendship of four of the first ever women to study at Oxford University: a captivating debut novel about sisterhood, self-determination, courage, and what it means to come of age in a world that has changed forever.”

About Joanna Miller:

Joanna has always loved stories – even from an early age, when the Headteacher complained to her parents that she had read all the books in the school library. 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.
