The Story:
It begins in the South of France, where long, sun-drenched days and opulent nights draw a young man into the glittering orbit of the Blake siblings: carefree Lily, rebellious Dot, and the magnetic, guarded Felix. Between poolside afternoons and glittering parties, desire and obsession blur into betrayal and secrets.
Back in London, the cracks in the Blakes’ façade begin to show — and the choices made under the Riviera sun will change everything.
Smart, sexy, and unputdownable, Sunstruck is both a compulsive summer read and a poignant meditation on race, status, and the cost of belonging.
