Book Club 49: The Safekeep

This month we’re reading The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden.

It is fifteen years after the Second World War, and Isabel has built herself a solitary life of discipline and strict routine in her late mother’s country home. But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel’s doorstep – as a guest, there to stay for the season… what happens between the two women leads to a revelation which threatens to unravel all she has ever known.
