Louise M, Librarian
I absolutely loved this story of forbidden love and war secrets, set in the aftermath of the Second World War. Isabel lives a reclusive life in her uncle’s home. When her brother, Louis, brings his girlfriend Eva back one day, Isabel experiences a life changing moment, and the past and present collide in a truly heartbreaking and yet also hopeful way. Beautiful prose, emotionally powerful, The Safekeep is a top contender for one of the best historical novels I’ve read this year.
