Fallout

An intoxicating and immersive read... It is a fraught and compelling novel; one that replays itself uncomfortably in the mind long after it is finished

Lucy Atkins, Sunday Times

Intense... Ms Jones is unflinching as she plots the course of fallout with no shelter, of wounded lives undone by desperation in love and art

Carmela Ciuraru, New York Times

Written with a precision and a level of descriptive subtlety that puts her up there with our foremost novelists. I can't help but feel that if she had been born Samuel Jones she would already be considered on a par with the Barneses and McEwans of this parish... Fallout is crafted with a pared-back delicacy and attention to detail that shows an author determined to do better with every sentence. And at the same time, there is an intensity of focus, a merciless yet empathetic gaze directed towards each of the main characters that ensures we care deeply about each of them

Elizabeth Day, Observer

Hugely enjoyable... Fallout is both deliciously gobble-able and carefully constructed... A thoroughly pleasurable read

Holly Williams, Independent on Sunday

An intelligent, pacy tale... Every summer needs a One Day-style read; this book is a contender for that crown

Anne Ashworth, The Times

Absorbing and romantic... Will drag you in and keep you there until the very last page

Few people combine emotional intelligence with commercial appeal so well… Jones writes so richly it’s like sinking into a luxurious bath

Metro

A vivid sense of period is combined with a real satirical edge

Mail on Sunday

Jones gives the appearances of being an effortlessly fluent writer. Her sentences tumble forth, occasionally surprising the reader with their odd perfection… Sadie Jones is that rare novelist who can deliver a satisfying plot without stylistic compromise

Alex Peake-Tomkinson, Times Literary Supplement

The novel captures, better than anything I’ve read, theatre’s febrile, ephemeral intensity

Now I want to read her other books
