Book description
Five colleagues. One dreadful day. And the biggest shock of her life
for high-flying career girl Katherine Casey, who'd believed she was safe
from the job losses coming to Qwertec Solutions. The mood is sombre as
she and devastated ex-colleagues gather in the pub. But a few drinks
later, with the discovery of a shared passion for the silver screen,
things begin to look up. And the Forced Redundancy Film Club is born.
Over a year, Katherine, along with office oddball Alice, stressed out
mother-of-three Lisa, professional sorrow-drowner Martin and
cheating-heart Jamie meet up each month to watch their favourite classic
films. As they journey through Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The
Wizard of Oz, Brokeback Mountain and many others, each faces their own
personal challenges: from negative-equity hell to heartache, loneliness,
toddler-strife - and the wrath of a certain bunny boiler. And each finds
comfort in the one place where they're guaranteed a happy ending. But
will the dreams they dare to dream every really come true? Only time
will tell...
