Join us for a discussion of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson. Major Ernest Pettigrew (retired) leads a quiet life in the village of St. Mary, England, until his brother's death sparks an unexpected friendship with Mrs. Jasmina Ali, the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village. Drawn together by their shared love of literature and the loss of their respective spouses, the Major and Mrs. Ali soon find their friendship blossoming into something more. But will their relationship survive in a society that considers Ali a foreigner. New members are always welcome. Copies of the book are available at the Front Desk. 

This meeting will also serve as the group's Christmas Party. For planning purposes, please register at the Front Desk. Space is limited.
