My Thoughts

I enjoy the plot of The Vintage Wedding. Three women, Beth, Lindy, and Rachel meet, perchance, at the Save Our Village Hall meeting. They agree it would be a great place for a wedding. And, they join together to organize inexpensive Vintage Weddings. 

Beth is in the village to help her sister, Helena, organize her wedding.

Lindy is a young seamstress and the single mother of two young boys.

Rachel is recently divorced. We learn she is an organized accountant and a bit controlling.

The references of  Raff to Mr.Darcy and of the 'Finn and the McCools' band,  I found amusing.

Life and relationships formed in the Cotswold village are interesting. We read the description of the wedding arrangements are, "The fragrance of the spring flowers was lovely. The five jam jars on each table looked extravagant. And although the Flower Guild had said there wasn't time to decorate the marquee itself very much, they had found time to wind swatches of net and ivy and narcissus from the centers, covering the supporting struts.The roof was tented with net and tiny lights that gave the impression of being a fairy palace." 


This appears to be a get out of the rut you are in ....type of read.  So, if you are interested in a nice - easy, slightly - charming, village romance, then this Katie Fforde novel might just be the book for you.
