Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand: A Novel
by Helen Simonson
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand (1/6/2011)
Such a great book, not an extremely deep one but great all the same. Major Pettigrew would make a wonderful series for PBS. I think most of us know or have in our family an upright opinionated older gentlemen who reminds us of this character, at least I do. Wonderful character development and very readable writing style. Definitely want to read more from this author.
