Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson

4.0

---

When you find a book on the $1 shelf at your local bookstore, you’re taking a gamble because you may have just found it randomly without any prior recommendations. That’s exactly how I found this book- on a quick visit to the bookstore to pick up some reading material for my trip home to California. Well I think I gambled well because I really enjoyed this book. It’s a love story between a traditional English gentleman, Major Pettigrew, and Mrs. Ali, the local shopkeeper in their small village in England. It’s not love at first sight with these two, but you’ll want to follow along and root for them as they develop from acquaintances to friends to something more.
