Book Circle Discovers A House And Its People Are Not What They Seem
The Book Circle will meet on Wednesday, April 30, at 4 p.m., in the community room at the shul, where the group will talk about The Safekeep, by Yael Van Der Wouden, in whose debut novel it is learned that a house and its people are not what they seem. It is a dark tale of desire, suspicion, and obsession between two women staying in the same house in the Dutch countryside during the summer of 1961.
“Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual and infused with intrigue, The Safekeep is about facing up to the truth of history and to one’s own desires,” says The Guardian. The book was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, and won the National Jewish Book Award for debut fiction.
For more information about the Book Circle and its current selection, email ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Susan Rosenstreich, of the group.
