Dua Lipa‘s February pick for her Service95 book club is ‘The Bee Sting‘ by Paul Murray. The novel is a family saga set in modern Ireland, following the Barnes family: mother Imelda, father Dickie, 18-year-old Cass, and 12-year-old PJ. Following a series of miscommunications, this seemingly normal family misfires at every turn until they become isolated from the small community they live in as well as each other. Dua called ‘The Bee Sting’ a “masterclass in building tension” and said Murray “nails the loneliness of childhood and teenage years,” in addition to “the ways in which acting normal on the surface can conceal the darkest of secrets.”
