About This Item
Synopsis
Sadie Jones was born in London, England, the daughter of a Jamaican-born writer and a London-born actress. After leaving school Jones travelled and taught English as a foreign language in Paris, before returning to London where she worked as a runner for a production company, a temporary secretary and as a waitress, whilst pursuing a professional career as a screenwriter. She practiced this vocation for 15 years before achieving success with her first novel, The Outcast , published in 2008. Winner of the Costa First Novel Award, The Outcast was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction. Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of a young boy ostracized from his father and struggling to conform in claustrophobic, post-war, middle-class Britain. Her second novel, Small Wars , explores the atrocities of war and the breakdown of a marriage between a young and disillusioned British soldier and his wife, against a backdrop of 1950s Cyprus. The Uninvited Guests is Sadie Jones’s third novel. She lives in London.
