The Complete List of Dua Lipa's Book Club Picks

Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland

"Keefe. Say Nothing is a masterclass in the art of the ‘non-fiction novel’. It has all the elements of great fiction – mesmerising characters, intrigue and plot twists. And it also happens to be true...Keefe exposes the deep tensions between Catholics and Protestants, paramilitaries and the British armed forces that led to the conflict. This is a big book in every sense of the word, about a terrible and tragic war in the United Kingdom that many people today are too young to even remember. I guarantee you will be hooked from beginning to end." -DL

Swimming in the Dark

"It’s a beautiful coming-of-age love story set against the brutal political backdrop of Communist Poland in the 1980s...It’s poetic and tender, burning with a quiet rage at the persecution the LGBTQ+ community in Poland has suffered for decades and continues to fight against today. It’s a beautiful story – I hope you love it as much as I do" -DL

Crying in H Mart: A Memoir

"Some of you may already know Michelle as the uber-cool singer and guitarist of the American cult indie band Japanese Breakfast. With this book, she also proves herself to be a first-class memoirist, writing with raw honesty about her difficult teenage relationship with her mother and the grief that follows her mother’s death from cancer." -DL

Trust (Pulitzer Prize Winner)

"Set in New York City in the 1920s and ’30s, the story of a Manhattan financier and his high society wife is told through four ‘books’ – a novel, a manuscript, a memoir and a journal. But which version should you trust? Is there even one true reality?...While each reader will draw their own conclusion when they reach the end of this complex and thrilling book, what is never disputed is the ease with which money and power can bend reality itself." -DL

A Thousand Splendid Suns

"With Khaled Hosseini’s great gift for storytelling, this book soars on many levels. It’s an illuminating story of the cultural and political history of Afghanistan, rich with the textures of daily life. What stood out for me as much as the oppression it details is that this story is infused with love – between fractured families, teenage lovers, and the heroic characters of Mariam and Laila, whose friendship resonated with me so deeply." -DL

The Vanishing Half: A GMA Book Club Pick (a Novel)

"This book brilliantly surfaces a multitude of questions about race, class, and gender, told through a family drama that spans three generations in 20th-century America. Twin sisters Desiree and Stella choose very different paths in life, with the implications of their decisions reverberating down the generations. I was struck by how the novel so cleverly raises questions of heritage and identity while remaining non-judgmental, empathetic, and full of heart. I raced through this book and I’m sure you will too." -DL

The Guest

"Every page of this book raised so many questions for me! The story takes place over just one week, during which we learn almost nothing about the young protagonist Alex. We never leave a small affluent area of what we assume is Long Island. No one dies (or do they?), no major world events take place. And yet… the strange atmospheric pace of the novel doesn’t let up and I found myself literally on the edge of my seat from beginning to end." -DL

One Hundred Years of Solitude

"This incredible novel put me under a spell. I was captivated by the fantastical elements that live alongside reality and loved how time loops and sways in the fictional town of Macondo. True, at times I had to find my way through the many Aurelianos and José Arcadios that populate the seven generations of the Buendía family. But getting lost and succumbing to the mastery of Gabriel García Márquez’s storytelling is all part of the joy of this epic tale. Along the way, I found myself reflecting on love and war, familial bonds, the consequences of modernity and, of course, the many meanings of solitude. It’s irresistible." -DL

Just Kids: An Autobiography

"It’s hard to define Patti – she is a singer, a songwriter, a poet, a painter and, of course, an author. It’s safe to say that we get something of all of these personas through this beautiful book...I’d have loved to be part of such a cool era. Patti gives us the next best thing – possibly the most spellbinding account of New York in the ’70s ever written. As we witness the ascent of two legendary artists, both Robert and Patti, it’s clear that her respect and love for artistry never dims." -DL

Half of a Yellow Sun

"The story takes place in 1960s Nigeria, both before and during the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War. If this is a period of history you are not familiar with, don’t worry, you are not alone. Chimamanda skilfully balances truth and fiction, giving a gripping sense of what was at stake for those who lived through the war, and granting this travesty the attention it deserves." -DL
