Service95 Book Club With Dua Lipa

This House of Grief: Helen Garner on Empathy, Guilt & Writing Through The Unthinkable


Listen Later

What does it mean to truly bear witness – especially to something that defies comprehension? 

This month on the Service95 Book Club, Dua is joined by legendary Australian writer Helen Garner to discuss This House Of Grief – a haunting account of a father on trial for the murder of his three young sons. The book is part true crime, part literary reportage, and wholly unflinching. As Dua says, it has the pace of a thriller, but it also forces us to ask the most uncomfortable questions about love, justice, and the limits of empathy. 

Together, Dua and Helen reflect on the power of literature to confront our darkest instincts, and the courage it takes to look – and not look away. 

Buy the book at Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
