Major Pettigrew's Last Stand - by Helen Simonson

As expected, a very straightforward and enjoyable read. Although basically a light-hearted story about the relationship between the Major and Mrs. Ali, the story takes a wry look at the prejudices of people in an English village towards class, religion and "outsiders".

While reading the book I had the feeling that it would make a nice TV mini-series. I did some checking and see that a film is planned.

All in all, I'd recommend the book to anyone who likes a story with a beginning, middle and an end.
