I'm more than delighted to see this gem being shortlisted for this year's @womensprize.bsky.social for Fiction. Together with the other five contenders, it makes for one of the strongest line-ups ever. #WomensPrize #TheSafeKeep #YaelVanDerWouden
The final part of the novel is more than a shift in perspectives. It’s a whole new world opening up, offering rationale to what the reader before only thought was the reality of the narrative. #TheSafeKeep #YaelVanDerWouden #BookChat #booksky

There are passages in the first part of van der Wouden’s ‘The Safe Keep’ that are almost like tiny meditations that set the tone for the narrative. #TheSafeKeep #YaelVanDerWouden #BookChat #booksky

This was different from what I expected but in a really good way (I somehow thought Isabel had a husband? Thank god not). Read this for the lesbians but stayed for the history. The diary chapter had me in a chokehold.
Two 10/10 books in a row? God this month was amazing.
