This is a slow paced character study with a mystery element, as we know one of the 5 seemingly random characters will die by the end of the book at the train station they are all congregating at. I’ve heard its incredibly well crafted and covers many complicated social issues.”

I’m looking forward to discussing this wonderful book with you throughout the month of June.”

About the book club: British singer/songwriter Dua Lipa is clearly a book lover and created “a space to enjoy all things literary, including Dua’s Monthly Reads and exclusive Q&As between her and the authors…”

What Dua Lipa said about the book: “I’ve long admired Kae Tempest for his body of work, which includes plays, fiction, essays, poetry, five studio albums and electrifying spoken word performances. Watching him move fluidly between forms is thrilling.

Having Spent Life Seeking, his groundbreaking new novel, contains something of all of them. The story follows Rothko, fresh out of a long stint in prison, returning to his hometown and witnessing how much – and how little – has changed. It’s the start of a journey that demands a reckoning with his past and, ultimately, with himself.”

About the book club: Book influencer Jack Edwards has started a book club with the fable app: “Inklings will celebrate compelling and captivating storytelling from around the world, fostering a community of book lovers. That’s YOU!!”

What Jack has said about the book: “When you read Ocean Vuong, you know you’re in for heartbreak, lyrical prose, and soul-bearing writing. On that front, this book more-than delivers. Chapter 16, I’m looking at you — I could hardly see through the tears.

But what I didn’t expect was for this book to be so funny, too. It’s about the things we can do for one another and how we can carry each other through the storm. The antidote for a society more divided than ever.”
