Current Fiction Book Group with Claudia Cayne

Led by Claudia Cayne, this informal group meets on the second Saturday of each month (unless otherwise noted) at 4:00 PM in the Reading Room. 

Claudia's selection for this month is Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden,

It is 1961 and the Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Living alone in her late mother’s home, Isabel knows her life is as it should be—led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva to stay for the season. Eva is Isabel’s antithesis: she sleeps late, walks loudly through the house, and touches things she shouldn’t. In response, Isabel develops a fury-fueled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house, paranoia which gives way to infatuation, leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual, and infused with intrigue, this is a thrilling debut about facing up to the truth of history, and to one’s own desires.

All are welcome for one or all of the Current Fiction Book Group series' lively and informal discussions. Registration is not required.
