Dua Lipa‘s September pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Lincoln in the Bardo‘ by George Saunders. The historical fiction novel, which takes place in just over 24 hours, tells the story of President Abraham Lincoln who is grieving for his dead son, Willie, whose death foreshadows the hundreds of thousands of lives that are about to be lost in the American Civil War. What makes this novel even more unique is that it’s narrated by many bickering ghosts that reside in a graveyard.

Dua Lipa‘s July pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Noughts & Crosses‘ by Malorie Blackman. The Young Adult book explores racism and classism during its alternative version of Britain, in which black people (crosses) rule over white people (noughts).

Dua Lipa‘s June pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland‘ by journalist Patrick Radden Keefe. The non-fiction book explores The Troubles in Northern Ireland with the 1972 abduction and murder of Jean Conville as its central focus.

As the winner of International Booker Prize will be announced next week, Dua Lipa took to Service95 to share her love of translated books, which the International Booker Prize celebrates. “I love that this prize celebrates the translator, as well as the author,” she says.
