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
Mernie Gilmore, Daily Express

Even better than The Outcast
Natascha McElhone, Independent
Anyone who loved Sadie Jones' gripping debut novel The Outcast will be equally hooked by this fraught tale of creative ambition and betrayal in a radical theatre group of 1970s London
Stylist
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
Samantha Ellis, Big Issue
Now I want to read her other books
William Leith, Evening Standard
