Major Pettigrew's Last Stand: A Novel
Description
Written with a delightfully dry sense of humour and the wisdom of a born
storyteller, Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand explores the risks one takes when
pursuing happiness in the face of family obligation and tradition. When
retired Major Pettigrew strikes up an unlikely friendship with Mrs. Ali, the
Pakistani village shopkeeper, he is drawn out of his regimented world and
forced to confront the realities of life in the twenty-first century. Brought
together by a shared love of literature and the loss of their respective
spouses, the Major and Mrs. Ali soon find their friendship on the cusp of
blossoming into something more. But although the Major was actually born in
Lahore, and Mrs. Ali was born in Cambridge, village society insists on
embracing him as the quintessential local and her as a permanent foreigner.
The Major has always taken special pride in the village, but will he be forced
to choose between the place he calls home and a future with Mrs. Ali? Read
