The Safekeep (Yael van der Wouden)
A gorgeous book with a plot twist that I still can’t get over. Reminded me of the Dutch House in that the main character is a place and not a person. The main human character was a grouch in the beginning but it all works out. I had a bit of a Hermione (or Her-me-own) moment with her name “Isa”. Is it Izza or Eye-sa? Probably would have devoured the book in 3 days but I kept tripping over her name and it took me 4. 5 ⭐️s!

“I’ve read (and forgotten) a lot of books in the past few years, but this one SHOOK me in a way I cannot explain. Don’t look up any synopsis or background info, just dive in blind and be patient. I swear the payoff goes crazy.”

“Let me add my voice to the chorus of people recommending this book. A beautiful slow burn. The less said in advance about the plot the better. I read it in about three sittings over the weekend.”

“Just thinking about this book makes me want to go back and read it again. Sometimes a story creeps up on you slowly, thoughtfully, carefully, and then proceeds to crush you and break your heart. And you’re grateful for it. This is one of those.”
