Major Pettigrew
The story offers a refreshing look at life in an English village in today's world. A retired, widowed Major with connections to the Indian sub continent, the subtle underlining of the increasing presence of people of Indian/ Pakistani origin in England, the decaying aristocracy with an impoverished specimen called 'double d', the rise of bankers as a breed, the whiff of wall street, a bunch of church-ladies hell bent on doing good in the village........ Duck hunting in the local pond, ...a family of Pakistani Muslims stubbornly resisting western culture when having been born and brought up in England, and a pretty Pakistani-origin widow ........A very sweet love story, extremely entertaining. Great read !!!
