William Rayfet Hunter talks to Shon Faye

William Rayfet Hunter’s dazzling novel Sunstruck explores race, status and the parts of ourselves we risk losing when we fall in love.

Sunstruck follows a young man as he spends the summer with the Blake siblings: his carefree friend Lily, her rebellious younger sister Dot and the handsome and charismatic Felix. But when summer fades and the group returns to London, the cracks in the Blakes’ careful façade begin to show.
