[IMPAC Dublin FINALIST] A lovely read about Mjr Pettigrew, a recently widowed man in small town England. When sympathy is extended from an unlikely source, Mjr Pettigrew slowly gains a new friend; much to the consternation of the community in which he lives as well as his friend’s Asian family. Class conflict – yes. Social bias – yes. Prejudice from both sides – yes. Tradition vs modernity - also yes. A novel that deals with pre-conceived notions and society. (This book had so much to say).
