«La dernière conquête du major Pettigrew» is the novel by Helen Simonson, published by 10/18 in paperback (541 pages, in French).
In Edgecombe St. Mary, Major Ernest Pettigrew, a widower, leads an orderly life between tea, Kipling and the golf club. Meeting Mrs. Ali, a Pakistani widow, literature and shared grief unite them. The villagers' prejudices and family opposition complicate their relationship: a story about everyday racism, loneliness and consolation.
The original English work, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, was published in 2010; the French translation by Johan-Frédérik Hel-Guedj appeared in this 10/18 edition in 2013.
For readers of literary fiction and romances set in rural England, with mature characters and social critique.
Helen Simonson is an English author who lives in the United States.
