DESCRIPTION:Our book for July is 'Major Pettigrew's Last Stand' by Helen S
 imonson.\nAll are welcome to join in an hour's discussion on Zoom\, no mat
 ter how much of the book you have read.\n\nWhen retired Major Pettigrew st
 rikes up an unlikely friendship with Mrs. Ali\, the Pakistani village shop
 keeper\, he is drawn out of his regimented world and forced to confront th
 e realities of life in the twenty-first century. Brought together by a sha
 red love of literature and the loss of their respective spouses\, the Majo
 r and Mrs. Ali soon find their friendship on the cusp of blossoming into s
 omething more. But although the Major was actually born in Lahore\, and Mr
 s. Ali was born in Cambridge\, village society insists on embracing him as
  the quintessential local and her as a permanent foreigner. The Major has 
 always taken special pride in the village\, but will he be forced to choos
 e between the place he calls home and a future with Mrs. Ali?
