Synopsis "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand"

Major Ernest Pettigrew is perfectly content to lead a quiet life in the sleepy village of Edgecombe St Mary, away from the meddling of the locals and his overbearing son. But when his brother dies, the Major finds himself seeking companionship with the village shopkeeper, Mrs Ali. Drawn together by a love of books and the loss of their partners, they are soon forced to contend with irate relatives and gossiping villagers. The perfect gentleman, but the most unlikely hero, the Major must ask himself what matters most: family obligation, tradition or love?

Funny, comforting and heart-warming, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand proves that sometimes, against all odds, life does give you a second chance.

‘A beautiful little love story ... told with skill and humour' - Alexander McCall Smith

‘A wise comedy of manners proves that loving well is the best revenge ... This delightful debut is as much a gently P.C. look at the British class system tucked inside a sly comedy of manners as it is a love story' - Oprah magazine

‘It's gentle and charming, but these words can't convey the slow-burning pleasure of this novel' - The Times

'A charming, funny and absorbing debut' - Wendy Holden, Daily Mail
