Jessamyn Hope is the author of the novel Safekeeping, which was a Boston Globe recommended read; acclaimed by The Globe and Mail; a New York Public Library Staff Pick; winner of the J.I. Segal Award; a finalist for the Ribalow Prize and the Paterson Fiction Prize; and included on BuzzFeed's "53 Books You Won't Be Able to Put Down."
“Safekeeping, Jessamyn Hope’s luminous, irreverent, and ambitious first novel, shows how a single item — a medieval brooch made by a Jewish artisan for his wife — connects people across time and history. Full of romance, tragedy, betrayal, and the constant reminder that chaos is a driving force in everyone’s story, Safekeeping is a wise and memorable debut by a novelist of great talent and originality.” —The Boston Globe
