The witty and hilarious debut novel from Sara Gibbs, the talented comedy writer whose credits include The Mash Report and Have I Got News for You, EIGHT BRIGHT LIGHTS is set over the eight nights of Hanukkah.
The clock is ticking, and getting their happily ever after might just take a miracle . . .
EIGHT DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING
Hannah is stuck – in South Devon and her dead-end job. But when her estranged father dies, she suddenly finds herself in Tel Aviv. With only her insufferable – yet irritatingly sexy – host for company, can she pick up the pieces of her father’s life and make it home in time for her cousin’s wedding?
FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING
More preoccupied with securing her dream job writing for an iconic fashion magazine, Rachel is already a distracted bride. But when an article unlocks a long-held family secret, will her simple Christmas wedding become much more complicated?
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING
Spontaneously quitting her job was not wedding planner Ella’s idea – neither was burning bridges with her terrifying boss. Left with only one client – and no money – how will she pull this wedding together, when everything else is falling apart?
