“Moving, unnerving, and deeply sexy.” —Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with the Pearl Earring

“The Safekeep is a dream of a novel—mesmerizing and shockingly good—it lulls you with the lyrical beauty of its words and then slams you awake with its raw passion and rage. Part silent scream, part breathless love story—I was utterly blown away.” —Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace

“The Safekeep is thrilling: a riveting historical reconciliation and an impossible yet inevitable love story. Superbly wrought—serious, elegant, sexy, devastating.” —Julia May Jonas, author of Vladimir

"The Safekeep does not pull a single punch. This novel is equal parts filth, fear and fury. A narrative that draws you down its spiral until you’re dizzy, and characters that tackle you to the floor and leave you sweating." —Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta, authors of The View Was Exhausting

“The Safekeep is a beautiful book, highly charged, tense, shocking and heartbreaking in equal measure. . . One of those rare books that feels as if it’s been there all along, waiting to be given a voice. And what a voice this is.” —Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

“Surprising, chilling, and electric. The Safekeep is simply a fantastic work of literature.” —Alice Winn, author of In Memoriam

“Haunting and exquisitely poignant. . . A wonderful novel.” —Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground

"The Safekeep starts out as one thing and then becomes something utterly unexpected. It’s a slow burn of a book whose power creeps up on you suddenly, featuring fascinating characters, stunning prose, and lots of sex. It’s hard to believe this is a debut novel." —Adrienne Brodeur, author of Little Monsters
