CHANGE OF DATE DUE TO BANK HOLIDAY
In May we will be 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, with not a fork or a word out of place. 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…
In the sweltering heat of summer, Isabel's desperate need for control reaches boiling point. What happens between the two women leads to a revelation which threatens to unravel all she has ever known...”
New readers are always welcome. We usually discuss the book including themes and our thoughts about the book for about an hour and hang around for a drink if anyone fancies it.
