The Vintage Cinema Club, by Jane Linfoot, is about four friends with a love for all things retro. The summary says: "Meet The Vintage Cinema Club.... Izzy is a wow at making unwanted things pretty, but with three brothers and her shabby chic furniture business to run she doesn't have time to date. Could a fabulous French proposal change her mind? Single mum Luce's vintage bridal dresses are exquisite, but there's no way she's ever going to wear one or walk down the aisle for that matter. She's a strictly no romance, one night kind of woman - or so she thinks... Ambitious Caitie came down in the world fast when her husband's business crashed. Only The Vintage Cinema Club, and Caitie's great eye for quality pieces, kept them afloat when they lost their home. But even though Bonkers, her beloved pet Lurcher, is great, he isn't cutting it as a child substitute and the sadness she felt before is starting to creep back in. Dida seems to have it all - a chocolate and banana cake recipe to die for, lovely kids (most of the time!) and a great lifestyle. But what good is a fabulous home, when your marriage has more cracks than a pavlova and your husband is having it off with half of Lithuania? Four retro fabulous friends, in love with all things vintage, run their dream business from the faded grandeur of a rescued cinema. When that dream comes under threat, they'll do whatever it takes to save it." The Vintage Cinema Club is out in April 2015.
