'The Safekeep' — Conversations on Books

Leitrim Library Service and The Reading Room Bookshop invite you to join them for a relaxed conversation on books, on Saturday 6 September.

For the next event in the 'Conversations on Books' series, the featured book is 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…"

"In the sweltering heat of summer, Isabel's desperate need for control reaches boiling point. What happens between the two women leads to a revelation which threatens to unravel all she has ever known."

Come along for conversation and a shared love of books — tickets are €10 and available now via https://www.thedock.ie/whats-on/the-safekeep, or via the Box Office at 071 965 0828.
