Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

This was pleasant enough. An elderly retired major in a small town in England becomes friends with the local shopkeeper who happens to be a Pakistani widow. The writing is pretty forced. You can tell she mapped it all out in her head...hmm...now I need an incident to bring them together outside so the cliff scene will work later...let's see.... Anyway as I said it was pleasant enough. Twee though...in not a very twee-tastic sort of way. On to the next book!
