Sadie Jones (born 1967) is a critically acclaimed British novelist and screenwriter whose powerful, emotionally charged fiction has established her as a major voice in contemporary English literature. Born into a highly creative family in London as the daughter of Jamaican writer Evan Jones and actress Joanna Jones, she spent fifteen years working as a film runner, waitress, and dedicated screenwriter before turning her hand to prose. She achieved immediate international stardom with her 2008 breakout debut novel, The Outcast, a searing critique of post-war provincial English society that won the Costa First Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction. Proving her versatility, she subsequently adapted the book into a celebrated BBC television mini-series. Jones's diverse and bestselling bibliography—characterized by its cinematic pacing and unflinching exploration of human vulnerability—includes the 1950s military marriage drama Small Wars, the country-house mystery The Uninvited Guests, the theatrical romance Fallout, the psychological thriller The Snakes, and her poignant coming-of-age pastoral novel, Amy & Lan.
