October Book Selection: Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand

Now a New York Times

Bestseller!

Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by

Helen Simonson—Synopsis: When

Major Pettigrew, a retired British

army major in a small English

village, embarks on an unexpected

 friendship with the widowed Mrs.

 Ali, who runs the local shop, trouble

erupts to disturb the bucolic serenity

of the village and of the Major’s

carefully regimented life.—As the Major

and Mrs. Ali discover just how much they

have in common, including an educated

background and a shared love of books,

they must struggle to understand what it

means to belong and how far the

obligations of family and tradition can be

set aside for personal freedom. Mean-

while, the village itself, lost in its petty

 prejudices and traditions, may not see its

own destruction coming. -(info from

Helen Simonson official website)
