Book Review of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


This book is an easy read yet its characters are complex enough to be interesting, as is its subject matter. Major Pettigrew is a very conventional, traditional man, whose values and ethics get reexamined late in life, when he meets an attractive Packistani woman. I can see why this is so popular with books clubs, since it explores many themes without becoming an "issues" book.
