Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

Major Pettigrew is a sixty-eight-year-old retired widower who enjoys his settled life in Edgecomb St. Mary, England.  When the Major’s brother dies, and his adult son shows up with an American fiancée, and he strikes up a friendship with a Pakistani widow, his life becomes decidedly unsettled.  Charming is the word used repeatedly in reviews for this domestic comedy that explores mature romance, family relationships, clashing cultures, and religious fundamentalism.
