You're invited to attend the UMGC Europe Book Club's discussion of:
The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden
Set in 1961 in the Netherlands, this story follows Isabel (Isa), a reclusive caretaker obsessively tending to her late mother’s stately home. As small items go missing and desire stirs beneath suspicion, Isabel’s life unravels. Beneath the quiet surface, buried wartime secrets begin to resurface, forcing Isa to confront both her past and herself. Part romance, detective novel, and historical fiction, The Safekeep delivers tension and intrigue. Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction and Booker Prize shortlist.
The discussion takes place on August 26, 2025, right in time for International Women's Equality Day!
