When the Lights Go Out is absolutely superb. So timely, and so deeply human, a novel which takes us right into the heart of a marriage and at the same time grapples with the most crucial issue of our age. It's bursting with compassion and wisdom - I felt for these characters every step of the way.

Carys Bray is extraordinarily skilled at creating characters who feel like they might live down the road from you. Through exquisite use of language and observation, she examines the intricacies of family life in ways which have you laughing one moment and biting your nails with worry the next.

A sharply observed, deftly told tale of rupture and repair. In it, with characteristic wit and humanity, Bray shows us the necessity and the impossibility of preparing for disaster, and reminds us of both the fragility and capacity of love.

A beautifully realised story of a family falling apart under the pressures of our age.

Warm, witty and well worth your time.

A joy to read [...] her writing is really smart. The family's interactions are so well observed.

Bray's third novel is the finely drawn story of a marriage on the skids and a nuanced appraisal of the variegated impacts of climate change.

A very funny book . . . prescient and poignant . . . [with] a believable and moving climax to a novel that captures the paranoia of our times.
