Yael Van Der Wouden: The Safekeep [Book Club]

Over deze aflevering

A debut novel being shortlisted for The Booker Prize and WINNING the Women's Prize -- yeah, it doesn't get much bigger than that. Yael Van Der Wouden's The Safekeep totally floored me. It considers ownership, property, lust, yearning, repression, and the echoes of war that richochet long after the final bullet is fired. It’s historical fiction set in 1961, and writes hatred and love with the same passion and intensity. This was one of my favourite conversations I’ve had for the podcast, and I’m so happy to be sharing it with you today. I asked Yael a tonne of questions from our Fable Book Club chat and Instagram account – search Inklings Book Club if you’d like to join.
