Title: Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
Author: Helen Simonson
Publisher: Random House
Year: 2010
364 pages
Audiobook
Beach reading about racism and classism. It won't become a classic, but it was enjoyable enough. It's not really about racism or xenophobia but about the capacity to balance restraint and flexibility, tradition and innovation. The audiobook may have been better than the print version. The reader conveyed the rueful sense of both indignation and ludicrousness, for example, as well as many other mixed emotional states.
