The Safekeep

Longlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize. Perfect for fans of literary historical fiction with a slow-burn psychological edge. It's 1961 in the quiet Dutch countryside, and Isabel lives an isolated, disciplined life in her late mother's home — until her brother's new girlfriend, Eva, arrives to stay for the season. Eva is everything Isabel isn't: loud, careless, and unafraid to touch things she shouldn't. As small objects start disappearing around the house, Isabel's suspicion curdles into obsession — and obsession into desire — leading to a revelation that forces her to confront the buried legacy of WWII and everything she thought she knew. [BOOK CONDITION: LIKE NEW with very few creases on the cover]
