The Vintage Summer Wedding by Jenny Oliver – published digitally last May – finally hits the shelves in paperback next week, and we have one copy to give away! If Helen’s homemade Vintage Summer Wedding gingernuts haven’t given you a taste for the book, the synopsis certainly will. Good luck!
A Vera Wang dress, the reception at a sophisticated London venue, and a guest list that reads like a society gossip column are all the ingredients of Anna Whitehall’s perfect wedding that never was …

Years ago Anna pirouetted out of her cosy hometown village in a whirl of ambition … but when both of those fairy-tale dreams came crashing down around her ballet shoes, she and fiancée Seb find themselves back in Nettleton, their wedding and careers postponed indefinitely…Don’t they say that you can never go home again? Sometimes they don’t get it right … This one summer is showing Anna that your dreams have to grow up with you. And sometimes what you think you wanted is just the opposite of what makes you happy …
