This is a powerful and truthful story about hope and how to find it THE TIMES

Wry, beautifully written . . . it works on many levels DAILY MAIL

Brays satire shines with observation and subtlety GUARDIAN

She writes with a quiet formidable brilliance. Her observations on relationships are acute, painful and extremely funny. This is a gem of a book. EMILY MAITLIS
_________________________
Global temperatures are rising.
The climate of the Abrams marriage is cooling.

Emma is beginning to wonder whether relationships, like mortgages, should be conducted in five-year increments. She might laugh if Chris had bought a motorbike or started dyeing his hair. Instead hes buying off-label medicines and stockpiling food.

Chris finds Emmas relentless optimism exasperating. A tot of dread, a nip of horror, a shot of anger - he isnt asking much. If she would only join him in a measure of something.

The familys precarious eco-system is further disrupted by torrential rains, power cuts and the unexpected arrival of Chriss mother. Emma longs to lower a rope and winch Chris from the pit of his worries. But he doesnt want to be rescued or reassured - he wants to pull her in after him.

Darkly funny and beautifully written, When the Lights Go Out is a novel for our times: a story about cultivating hope and weathering change.
_________________________
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. Its bursting with compassion and wisdom. SHELLEY HARRIS, author of JUBILEE

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. SARAH FRANKLIN, author of SHELTER

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. JENN ASHWORTH, author of A KIND OF INTIMACY and FELL

I think WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT is exactly the novel we need in these times its complex, nuanced, and compassionate, frightening and heartening. I think Carys has written something truly extraordinary and I hope it flies. Ill certainly be cheering it on. STEPHANIE BUTLAND

Gorgeously written... funny and compassionate... I found it very affecting. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, 2020 Pick of the Year

When the lights go out, Bray, Carys
