Our Key Stage 4 and staff Book Club are about to start reading a novel from the Richard and Judy shortlist. 'Major Pettigrew's Last Stand' by Helen Simonson is set in a sleepy village, where the Major likes to lead a quiet life. All that changes when he finds his feelings deepening towards the village shopkeeper, Mrs Ali. Now, Major Pettigrew must look at his life in a new way and decide what matters most - family, tradition or love.....
Look out for the review board in the LRC to see what we think about this novel. Will we agree with Richard and Judy??
