Yael Van Der Wouden: The Safekeep [Book Club]

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. For now, please welcome to the
