About The Author

Afsaneh Knight lives in London with her husband and their two children. THE SUNSHINE YEARS is her second novel. Her first first novel, SLAUGHTERHOUSE HEART, was widely acclaimed on publication. It is available in Black Swan paperback and ebook.

Witty, warm and observant enough to shine light into the darkest corners; a mesmerising read

Other text

Knight expertly captures that particular guilt and self-loathing that amplifies the internal misery of the outwardly successful. Her best creation is mediocre lawyer JP, a man who rages impotently at life by leaving abusive comments beneath online articles. Everyone in this world struggles to connect despite always being connected, the “men tippetty-tapping with thumbs, texting their life stories all about town, average as sandwiches, boring as soup.”
