Pop icon DUALIPA has connected with female prisoners over Scots smash hit novel Shuggie Bain
The global star, who has won three Grammys, joined a prison book group to discuss the Booker Prize-winning story - based on a boy growing up with his alcoholic mum in Glasgow.
The writer, who now lives in New York, won the Booker Prize in 2020 for the debut novel and recently revealed his plans for adapting his classic novel for the big screen on the back of its huge success. The star was shown Downview Prison’s library in Surrey as part of a visit organised in conjunction with the National Literacy Trust and the Booker Prize Foundation.
Dua sat down with prisoners to discuss the novel and inmates told the singer how reading helps them to understand their emotions.“Women were asking each other, ‘What was the name of that book that you told me about that I need to read?’ It felt like the conversation was really flowing throughout the room, and it felt very exciting. It was nice to see a real sense of support in the room, which was really lovely.
