Watch Dua Lipa read from International Booker Prize 2024-shortlisted 'The Details', written by Ia Genberg and translated by Kira Josefsson.
The story so far: In the throes of a high fever, a woman lies bedridden. Suddenly, she is struck with an urge to revisit a particular novel from her past. Inside the book is an inscription: a message from an ex-girlfriend. Pages from her past begin to flip, full of things she cannot forget and people who cannot be forgotten. Johanna, that same ex-girlfriend, now a famous TV host. Niki, the friend who disappeared all those years ago. And Alejandro, who appears like a storm in precisely the right moment.
