About this event:
Join us for a lively discussion of Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson. In her witty debut novel the author introduces the unforgettable Major Ernest Pettigrew, a widower, who embodies the ideals of the “stiff upper lip” Englishman. He learns to question his traditional values when he becomes friends with a neighbor, a Pakistani widow, Jamina Ali, who aids him in his fight with his greedy relatives who want to sell a treasured family heirloom.
