Why read it?
1 author picked When the Lights Go Out as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book for its humour in the face of catastrophe.
As the rain falls and the floods rise, Chris sees his mission as to warn humanity of the impending terrors of the climate emergency. His wife Emma meanwhile tries to keep their home and family fed, safe and happy.
An incurable optimist, she finds Chris’ behaviour both pointless and faintly ridiculous. And when he takes to switching off the electricity in order to teach her to be more self-sufficient, she’s less than pleased.
What I really admire is the way Carys tackles the serious topic of climate breakdown…
From Jane's list on believable British stories set in the near future.
