November 2025 Book Club - 'The Safekeep' by Yael Van Der Wouden

We've got one final book club in us for the year and we are closing it out with a big one! Winner of the 2025 Women's Prize in fiction AND the best-selling book over the past 3 months (!!) here at Berkelouw Leichhardt, it's 'The Safekeep' by Yael Van Der Wouden!

'It is fifteen years after the Second World War, and Isabel has built herself a solitary life of discipline and strict routine in her late mother's country home, with not a fork or a word out of place. But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel's doorstep - as a guest, there to stay for the season…'

This is both a customer and staff favourite, so we'd LOVE to see you all come down and share your thoughts and feelings on this fascinating debut novel.

Join us on Thursday November 13th at 6pm in the Reading Room @ Berkelouw Books Leichhardt, and if you haven't already, you can pick up a copy in-store now.
