Fallout (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780062292827)

A deeply affecting love story set in the gritty yet magnificent theater world of 1970's London by the award-winning, bestselling Sadie Jones, author of The Uninvited Guests and The Outcast

Luke is a young playwright: intense, magnetic and hungry for experience. Fleeing a disastrous upbringing, he arrives in London and moves into a flat with Paul, an aspiring producer, and the beautiful, fiery Leigh. The three of them set up a radical theatre company, their friendship forged in rehearsal rooms above pubs, candlelit power cuts, and smoky late-night parties, part of a thrilling new generation of writers, directors, and rising voices. When Nina, a fragile actress, strays towards their group, Luke is captivated by the allure of a kindred damaged soul, and the balance between the friends is threatened. Torn between loyalty, desire, and his own painful past, everything Luke values, even the promise of the future, is in danger. Suddenly the fallout threatens to be immense.
