TISDAGSKLUBBEN: The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden27.01.2026 / 18.30
Claesgatan 8
About the book:
A house is a precious thing...
It is 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is truly over. Living alone in her late mother's country 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, leaving her at Isabel's doorstep as a guest, 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 – a spoon, a knife, a bowl – Isabel's suspicions begin to spiral. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel's paranoia gives way to infatuation, leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva – nor the house in which they live – are what they seem.
About Tisdagsklubben:
One Tuesday a month PAGE 28 is inviting you to Malmö’s queer book club, without pretension and pressure! It’s called Tisdagsklubben which means the Tuesday Club. On this evening, our bookstore will be transformed into a literary saloon where everyone who’s interested is welcome to come and discuss a chosen queer book. The discussion will be led by Emelie, Ida and Patrycja from PAGE 28, and our ambition is to create an open minded and allowing atmosphere.
