Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand

A retired major, an unexpected romance, and a quiet stand for love and dignity.

Major Ernest Pettigrew, a retired army officer in an English village, lives a life of quiet routine and understated dignity. But when he forms an unlikely friendship with Mrs. Jasmina Ali, a Pakistani shopkeeper in the village, their connection blossoms into something deeper, challenging social conventions, prejudices, and long-held expectations. As their worlds collide, Major Pettigrew learns that courage isn’t just for the battlefield it’s also for the heart.

Helen Simonson’s warm, witty prose paints a portrait of a community in flux, capturing the small dramas, ironies, and tender moments that define everyday life. The novel is both humorous and moving, exploring themes of love, honor, cultural clashes, and the timeless human need for companionship and understanding.

Charming, thoughtful, and quietly profound, Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand is a celebration of love, dignity, and the courage it takes to follow your heart no matter your age.
