Lights Out in Lincolnwood

The Altmans are a normal family with normal problems. Until one very abnormal day upends life as they know it.
'Utterly addictive' Victoria Selman
'Funny, engrossing, and brilliantly written' Claire McGowan
‘One of the best books we’ve read in a long time’  Bella

Sometimes all it takes to bring a family together is the possible end of the world
 
Meet the Altman family.
 
Fifty-something Dan is struggling to cope with a mid-life career change. MBA-educated wife and mother Jen has dealt with life’s disappointments by becoming a closet alcoholic. Seventeen-year-old Chloe is obsessing about getting into the right university and her state tennis semifinals. Fourteen-year-old Max is trying to figure out when he can next sneak a puff on his beloved vape and plotting revenge on the school bully.
 
They’re a normal family with normal problems.
 
Until, one day, the lights go out.
 
Mobile phones don't work. Lights, laptops, cars, trains – anything that uses electricity – just stops.
 
And what happens next will change everything…

Funny and heart-warming, Lights Out in Lincolnwood is the story of one ordinary family and their unexpected adventure of a lifetime


‘Thrilling, heartfelt, humorous and wonderfully original. Lights Out in Lincolnwood takes a darkly wry look at just what happens when ordinary meets extraordinary. I loved it' Chris Whitaker
