Book 74: "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" by Helen Simonson

     Hooray for the senior set!  They still endeavor to do what they believe is right, even in our fast-paced, ego-centric world of spin and justified immediate gratification.  And, they can still fall in love, too!  That's what you will discover in this charming tale of new love and old family money.
     "Major Pettingrew's Last Stand" is written by first-time novelist Helen Simonson.  It concerns both the budding romance of two seniors from diverse backgrounds and a family feud over financial holdings.
     This is a romantic comedy about sensibility and manners at a time when those qualities seem to have gone missing.  As an extra bonus, Helen Simonson makes falling in love at 60 seem like a trip back to your first high school date!
