Product Information

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?

Reviews
"[A] beautiful little love story, which is told with skill and humor."-- The New York Times Book Review "Funny, barbed, delightfully winsome storytelling . . . As with the polished work of Alexander McCall Smith, there is never a dull moment. . . . It's all about intelligence, heart, dignity and backbone. Major Pettigrew's Last Stand has them all."-- The New York Times "Delightful . . . Lots of books try to evoke Jane Austen . . . but Simonson nails the genteel British comedy of manners with elegant aplomb."-- The Christian Science Monitor "Thoroughly charming . . . With her crisp wit and gentle insight, Simonson . . . knows just what delicious disruption romance can introduce to a well-settled life."-- The Washington Post "There's more than a bit of Romeo and Juliet here . . . Major Pettigrew and Mrs. Ali are worthy of our respect, and it is a great pleasure to spend time with them."-- Los Angeles Times "Marvelous . . . graceful, funny, perceptive, and satisfying."-- The Boston Globe "A comforting and intelligent debut, a modern-day story of love that takes everyone--grown children, villagers, and the main participants--by surprise, as real love stories tend to do."--Elizabeth Strout, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge "[Helen] Simonson invests her grown-up love story with . . . warmth and charm."-- USA Today "A wise comedy . . . about the unexpected miracle of later-life love . . . The beauty of this engaging book is in the characters."-- O: The Oprah Magazine "With courting curmudgeons, wayward sons, religion, race, and real estate in a petty and picturesque English village, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is surprisingly, wonderfully romantic and fresh . . . the best first novel I've read in a long, long time."--Cathleen Schine, author of The Love Letter "Endlessly entertaining."--Minneapolis Star Tribune "Playful yet affecting . . . If you miss the Jeeves novels of P. G. Wodehouse--and don't mind having your emotional buttons pushed--Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is the book for you."-- Buffalo News "Irresistibly delightful."-- Library Journal (starred review), "[A] beautiful little love story, which is told with skill and humor."-- The New York Times Book Review "Funny, barbed, delightfully winsome storytelling . . .
