Our first read for October is Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson. Set in England, the British author, Helen Simonson, introduces us to Major Ernest Pettigrew, who embodies the traditional English values and pride. Plagued by greedy land developers and relatives who want him to sell family heirlooms, the Major finds an ally in his widowed neighbor, Jasmina Ali. The novel charmingly portrays the challenges of relationships in class, ethnicity, and the generation gap in today’s changing English society. Joanie Clarke is hosting at 7:00 pm. Contact Tina Paul (in directory) for directions and more details. Book Club is a casual gathering of those who like to read (and love dessert and a glass of wine)! A great way to get to know people.
