The Complete List of Dua Lipa's Book Club Picks

"It’s Percival at his very best – delivering one-liners that will make you howl with laughter, while simultaneously punching you in the gut." – Dua Lipa

“Although Helen has been writing for almost 50 years, her work is new to me and it’s a thrilling discovery. She’s one of the most fascinating writers I have come across in recent years, and I’m sure that, like me, you’ll find yourself diving into her back catalogue.” – DL

"This book challenged me profoundly. It moved me, and stayed with me. It’s not an easy read – but as our politics descend into hate-mongering and point-scoring, it’s an essential story that needs to be told." – DL

"Today Jean-Michel Basquiat’s art can be seen everywhere from gallery walls to high-top sneakers – and yet he remains an enigma. This book allowed me to see both the artist and his work in a totally different way, giving insights to the symbols and words that repeat in his paintings and revealing the true creative genius behind the icon." – DL

“This book is both uplifting and gut-wrenching, often at the same time... At its heart, it is a story about the many different ways to be a family, and it made me reflect on what an honour it is to care for someone you truly love.” – DL

“Ever so occasionally, you pick up a book and it spins you around and turns you upside down. This is one of those books. In his debut novel, author Max Porter ripped up the rule book of what a novel should do and instead presents us with something so wild, so mind-bending and just so beautiful." - DL

“If you are expecting beads and fry bread, you’ve come to the wrong book. Orange’s characters – 12 ‘Urban Indians’ living modern lives in American cities – are single parents, filmmakers, recovering addicts, survivors of sexual violence and kids searching for meaning. In short: life in all its complexity." - DL

"For a masterclass in building tension, look no further than this book. It’s a family saga set in modern Ireland, following the Barnes family – mother Imelda, father Dickie, 18-year-old Cass and 12-year-old PJ. Thanks to almost Shakespearean levels of miscommunication, we witness this seemingly normal family misfire at every turn until they become isolated from the small community they live in – and each other." - DL

"It’s a crime novel, but much more than a mere whodunnit... Darkly humorous, deadly serious, and with a quirky cast of characters that will stay with you forever, this is definitely not to be missed. The author won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and when you read this novel you’ll see why." - DL
