My hand holding up The Safekeep by Yael Van Der Wouden with a picture of a house looking from one room all the way to two rooms further, with a small girl sitting at the very end.
Yesterday I finished The Safekeep by Yael Van Der Wouden. It was a buddy read with @rotfriend.bsky.social and it was beautiful and left me with much to think about.
Definitely worth the hype and awards, I want to immediately read it again!!!

I adored #thesafekeep - a love/ hate affair and an exanimation of the emotional scars left by war. Sexy and heartbreaking. A literary treat with truly wonderful turns of phrase. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Mijn Engelse bookclub besprak vanavond dit bijzondere boek. Geschreven in het Engels en het verhaal speelt zich af in Nederland van begin jaren '60. #TheSafekeep #YaelvanderWouden 📚

Paperback book titled “The Safekeep” by Yael van der Wouden. It has a sticker indicating it was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2025. There’s also a mention that it was Booker Prize 2024 shortlisted. The cover includes a quote from Maggie O’Farrell, praising the book, and another endorsement from Sunday Times. The Penguin Books logo is visible at the bottom. The book cover image shows a dimly lit hallway inside a house. The hallway has wooden floors, several open doors along the corridor, and light coming from an unseen source, casting shadows. At the far end of the hallway, there appears to be a white object or shape on the floor—it could be something like a pillow or fabric, adding a sense of mystery to the scene.

Eva's laughter went quiet. She let herself be held a moment. She stroked Isabel's arms. She said, quiet, "Who are you?" She said, "Have you always been like this? Have you just been waiting to happen?" Chapter 10 #TheSafekeep

Well… beautifully written and with real psychological depth and intensity. Also focuses on some overlooked issues re WW2. The ending was perhaps a little predictable though? #TheSafekeep #writingcommunity
