MJ Franklin, who hosts the Book Review podcast's monthly book club, says that whenever someone asks him, “What should I read next?,” Yael van der Wouden's “The Safekeep” has become his go-to recommendation. So he was particularly excited to discuss the novel on this week's episode.Set in the Netherlands in 1961, “The Safekeep” is one of those books it's best not to know too much about, as part of its delight is discovering its secrets unspoiled. As the reviewer for The New York Times coyly wrote in her piece about the book, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2024: “What a quietly remarkable book. I'm afraid I can't tell you too much about it.”Here are some other books discussed in this week's episode:“The Torqued Man,” by Peter Mann“The Little Stranger,” by Sarah Waters“Mice 1961,” by Stacey Levine“The New Life,” by Tom Crewe Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

Wie landet man mit dem Debütroman auf der Shortlist des renommierten Booker Prizes? Die jüdisch-niederländische Autorin Yael van der Wouden über ihr Buch „In ihrem Haus“.
Yael Van der Wouden's first novel The Safekeep is a twisted tale of desire, obsession and loss set in the post-war Netherlands. It was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, and now the 2025 Women's Prize for Fiction.
Yael van der Wouden (1987) is geboren in Israël en verhuisde op haar tien naar Nederland. Ze is schrijfster. haar debuutroman De bewaring, oorspronkelijke titel The Safekeep, schreef ze in het Engels. Hij kwam op de shortlist van de zot-prestigieuze Britse Booker Prize, die uitgereikt wordt aan van oorsprong Engelstalige boeken. Ik vraag haar in ons gesprek hoe dat gaat als je op de shortlist van de Booker prize belandt, en wat er gebeurt als je niét wint.Ons gesprek was deel van het Passa Porta literatuurfestival in Brussel. We zaten in Track, een zaal in station Brussel-noord. Ze kwam net van Nederland met de trein, haar uitgeefster Sayonara was mee en luisterde mee in het publiek. Ze hadden op de trein een tijdje op de grond moeten zitten, het was een bumpy ride geweest tot in Brussel.Ze kiest een boek waarvan ze de schrijver binnenkort om een handtekening in haar exemplaar ging vragen. Ze vertelt hoe ze naar vrienden audioberichtjes stuurde om te vertellen hoe goed het is. Ze vertelt over haar kindertijd, hoe ze begon te lezen. Over het boek dat ze las in een stapelbed op reis in Italië, met uitzicht op de bergen. En hoe ze nu eindelijk een schrijfhut heeft om in te schrijven.Alle boeken en auteurs uit deze aflevering vind je in de shownotes op wimoosterlinck.beWil je de nieuwsbrief in je mailbox? wimoosterlinck.substack.comWil je de podcast steunen?

This week on “BETA,” comedian Eugene Mirman joins us to talk about “Bob’s Burgers” and more. Also, Booker Prize nominee, Yael van der Wouden, on her debut novel, “The Safekeep.” […]
Catherine Airey's debut novel Confessions features on the “Books to Look Forward to in 2025” lists for the Financial Times and The Sunday Times. Catherine has been praised by The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Independent, Publishers Weekly and The Irish Times. The Guardian named her as one of 2025's Best New Novelists. The Radio Times says she's “bound to become a household name very soon.” Authors who love her work include Yael van der Wouden, author of The Safekeeping which was nominated for the Booker last year. She's been interviewed for The Times Radio, The Bookseller, Country and Town House, and Radio 4's prestigious Woman's Hour. She was also recently in conversation with 2024 star Ferdia Lennon, author of Glorious Exploits, for Waterstones in Deansgate. We talk about her journey to writing Confessions, favourite reads and the complexity of family stories. Get Confessions here or at your local bookshop! Find Catherine on Instagram @catherineairey. CONFESSIONS:It is late September in 2001 and the walls of New York are papered over with photos of the missing. Cora Brady's father is there, the poster she made taped to columns and bridges. Her mother died long ago and now, orphaned on the cusp of adulthood, Cora is adrift and alone. Soon, a letter will arrive with the offer of a new life: far out on the ragged edge of Ireland, in the town where her parents were young, an estranged aunt can provide a home and fulfil a long-forgotten promise. There the story of Cora's family is hidden, and in her presence will begin to unspool…An essential, immersive debut from an astonishing new voice, Confessions traces the arc of three generations of women as they experience in their own time the irresistible gravity of the past: its love and tragedy, its mystery and redemption, and, in all things intended and accidental, the beauty and terrible shade of the things we do.

Der Januar ist vorbei und somit ist auch der Läsi-Umbau durch. Die Wiedereröffnung verlief ruhiger, aber nicht weniger erfüllend als geplant. Lesetechnisch lief es bei Luana richtig gut, gleich zwei Highlights waren dabei. Eines der Bücher steht bei Corina bereits weit oben und Luana gibt alles, sie vom baldigen Lesen des Buches zu überzeugen. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, warum manche Autor:innen eine zweite Chance verdienen und warum Anja Nunyola Glovers Buch eine echte Herzensempfehlung ist. Zwischendurch kämpft unsere Internetverbindung ein bisschen, aber nichtsdestotrotz gibt es genug zu besprechen. Viel Spass mit dieser bunt gefüllten Folge aus der Buchbrauerei! Bücher dieser Folge:Sonnenhang – Kathrin Wessling (09:50) Was ich dir nicht sage – Anja Nunyola Glover (16:55) Liebe ist gewaltig – Claudia Schumacher (26:45) In ihrem Haus – Yael van der Wouden (33:15) Abschiede von Mutter – Gian-Marco Schmid (44:20) Buchbrauerei auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buchbrauerei/BUK auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buk_buchhandlung/Leserei auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lesereizofingen/Musik/Editing/Mixing: Samuel Friderich (https://www.instagram.com/smkonthebeat/)Covergestaltung: Hanna (https://www.instagram.com/pomba.ch/)

We have spoken to all of the Booker Shortlisted authors here at Read On, many on the days leading up to, or in one case the day of, the award ceremony, far too soon to get them onto a regular episode of the show. So here, ahead of the ceremony tonight, is a supercut of all six interviews featuring Percival Everett, Samantha Harvey, Yael van der Wouden, Charlotte Wood, Rachel Kushner and Anne Michaels. We'll have all of the interviews, uncut, on future editions of Read On. The image showcases six book covers from the Booker shortlist 2024 James by Percival Everett - The cover features bold typography with a striking orange background. A small illustrated figure appears at the bottom, rowing a boat. Orbital by Samantha Harvey - This cover has a cosmic theme with abstract celestial shapes in vibrant colours against a dark background, resembling planets or bubbles in space. Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner - The cover uses bold, playful typography with red and yellow text. An upside-down black-and-white photograph of a woman wearing sunglasses adds a surreal element. Held by Anne Michaels - The cover is minimalist and grayscale, with the word "Held" repeated multiple times vertically. A small orange dot pattern adds subtle colour. The Safe Keep by Yael Van Der Wouden - This cover depicts an interior scene, looking into a room with an open door, hinting at themes of mystery or domesticity. Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood - The cover shows a dilapidated room with peeling walls and sunlight filtering in, suggesting an exploration of decay or solitude.

Her essay on Dutch identity and Jewishness, "On (Not) Reading Anne Frank", has received a notable mention in The Best American Essays 2018. On this episode of Little Atoms she talks to Neil Denny about her debut novel The Safekeep. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On our third annual Pride Episode, novelist Yael van der Wouden joins us to discuss The Safekeep (Avid Reader Press, May 28). Kirkus: “Two women spend a fraught summer together in the Dutch countryside…. [in this] this brilliant debut, as multifaceted as a gem” (starred revew). Then Kirkus' editors recommend some exciting new books by LGBTQIA+ authors.
Beth Golay recently spoke with "The Safekeep" author, Yael van der Wouden about Isabel's relationship with her brothers, how the post World War II setting shapes the book, and more.
De bewaring is het debuut van Yael der Wouden, die je kunt kennen van het essay "On (Not) Reading Anne Frank". De roman werd vooraf aan publicatie al verkocht aan 14 landen. De rechten werden in de VS geveild in een ten-way auction, dat wil zeggen dat er tien partijen aan het bieden waren. In Engeland waren dat er negen. Kortom: De bewaring was al een hype nog voordat het in de winkel lag. De roman speelt zich af in het naoorlogse Overijssel. Isabel woont alleen in het huis van haar overleden moeder. Alles loopt op rolletjes, tot plotseling haar broer Louis met zijn nieuwe vriendin Eva voor de deur staat, om bij haar de zomer door te brengen. Louis moet weg voor zaken. Tijdens Eva's verblijf loopt de spanning tussen Isabel en haar op, en beginnen er dingen uit het huis te verdwijnen. Heeft Eva er iets mee te maken? Charlotte, Joost en Marja praten over de hype rond het boek, bespreken het plot (let op: spoiler alerts!) en kijken naar Isabel als personage. Wat heeft De bewaring te maken met de fanfiction van Sherlock Holmes die Charlotte als tiener veel las en schreef?Luisteraars vragen: zijn er boeken die heel fijn zijn om te bespreken, en wat maakt een boek een goed 'bespreekboek'? Waar moet je als beginnend criticus op letten tijdens het lezen, en hoe faciliteer je een goed gesprek over een boek? SPOILER ALERT Let op: dit is een plotgedreven boek! Dus voor ons niet bespreekbaar zonder spoilers weg te geven. Als je het graag nog wil lezen, stop dan op minuut 8:30, lees het boek uit, en luister dan weer verder.Sponsor: Afrika Festival HertmeBekijk het volledige programma en bestel je tickets op www.afrikafestivalhertme.nl Met de code boekenfm ontvang je 10% korting op je ticketsZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
