Review Quotes

Rosenfeld's stunning eco-thriller is about acts of sabotage: those we commit against each other, against the planet, and against ourselves. She puts an achingly human face on the love (and sometimes lies) between mothers and daughters, the losses that can buckle us to our knees, and how the only real way to face the future is to unbury the secrets of the past. Achingly real and totally unforgettable.
- Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder
Women are made of fire in Fallout--women staying awake, paying attention, finding ways to acknowledge and avoid complicity, ways to acknowledge and embrace their individual and collective power. Jordan Rosenfeld helps burn down the patriarchy with this fierce and beautiful novel - a propulsive, explosive, timely, inspiring read.
- Gayle Brandeis--author of Many Restless Concerns and Drawing Breath
Fallout is truly a rare accomplishment, a page turner with a blistering heart and a powerful sense of purpose. Rosenfeld seamlessly weaves motherhood, grief, environmentalism, family tragedy and hopefulness into a story of redemption. An equal blend of propulsion and pathos, Fallout is a must-read you can't put down, even as its themes will linger in your mind for ages to come.
- Laura Bogart, author of Don't You Know I Love You?
Fallout is a story of female rage and delayed trauma at midlife, and about the women who will save us from corporate greed and ecological disaster. Fallout is more than a gripping eco-narrative from master-of -the-tight-scene, Jordan Rosenfeld. Women realizing their power and aiming it with laser focus are the roots and wings of this tense novel. The story is a satisfying page-turner as it rushes toward its surprising denouement - and the truth that new beginnings are always possible.
- Julia Park Tracey, author of The Bereaved and Silence
