Major Ernest Pettigrew (Ret'd) is not interested in the frivolity of the modern world. Since his wife Nancy's death he has tried to avoid the constant bother of nosy village women his grasping ambitious son and the ever spreading suburbanization of the English countryside preferring to lead a quiet life upholding the values that people have lived by for generations -respectability duty and a properly brewed cup of tea (very much not served in a polystyrene cup with teabag left in). But when his brother's death sparks an unexpected friendship with Mrs. Ali the widowed village shopkeeper of Pakistani descent the Major is drawn out of his regimented world and forced to confront the realities of life in the twenty-first century. Drawn 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 how will the chaotic recent events affect his relationship with the place he calls home? Written with sharp perception and a delightfully dry sense of humour Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is a heart warming love story with a cast of unforgettable characters that questions how much one should sacrifice personal happiness for the obligations of family and tradition.
