Fallout - Tapa dura

"[A] wonderful read. Surprising depth of character, accidents of fate that feel like life, and emotional FALLOUT that heralds new maturity, make this a very satisfying novel."--Not Another Book Review (Blog)

"The novel is at its best when the characters quietly seek an audience for their pleasures, their pains, and the 'more permanent wounds of their longer lives waiting, undiscovered.'"--New Yorker

"Jones is unflinching as she plots the course of fallout with no shelter, of wounded lives undone by desperation in love and art."--The New York Times

"The strength of Fallout is the insistent thread of hope that runs through all the humiliation and bad behavior. The result is...a fuller, more emotionally satisfying story."--The Wall Street Journal

"Emotionally charged."--Glamour

"An intoxicating, deeply romantic novel of theater, love, and friendship...With both microscopic precision and operatic emotions, Sadie Jones perfectly captures the exhilaration of the young and the talented as they find their footing in both art and love."--Booklist (starred review)

"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, The Sunday Times

"Beautifully written... An intense and absorbing story."--Deirdre O'Brien, Sunday Mirror

"An intelligent, pacy tale of pretty, talented people, striving for recognition but held back by their past.... Every summer needs a One Day-style read; this book is a contender for that crown."--Anne Ashworth, The Times

"On a par with the Barneses and McEwans of this parish... Jones's gift - like all great writers - is to leave us wanting so desperately to believe that the story will continue without us once the scenery has been cleared away."--Elizabeth Day, Observer
