Sadie Jones Interview

Small Wars

Following the huge success of her debut novel The Outcast (shortlisted for 2008 Orange Prize) Sadie Jones talks about her latest  and much awaited work Small Wars.

The two main characters Hal and Clara move to Cyprus at the height of the conflict in the 1950's following a few years in Germany. Soon each are torn between their duty to their country and to each other.

In the video interview Sadie Jones explains that she didn't really want to return to the fifties but that she realised the significant parallels between the Cyprus conflict and those in which the British army is engaged in modern times.

As for the success which her first book brought her, Sadie Jones explains what it is like to live the dream of every debut novelist.

 

SMALL WARS was on the  longlist  for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2010
