We read "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" by Helen Simonson and had lunch at 'The Other Place' at 469 E 300 South in Salt Lake City.  Greek food!  The consensus on the book was 4 stars and we all enjoyed it.

Linda said: "I thought this book was absolutely charming. It explores family relationships, bias, and has something to say about the difference between the "stuff" that we accumulate and the "stuff" that is really important. Great book."

Leslie said:  "Delightful, sweet, sweet story. I loved every minute."

Alison said:  "Delightful! A little slower reading than I wished, but Major Pettigrew is such an endearing character, and he had so much wisdom for me to absorb."

Sue said:  "This sweet and touching story was driven by wonderful, fully-developed characters who were not perfect but very engaging. The very human touches that each showed in their relationships is what made them so real and wonderful. I loved the story of prejudice, manners, and love. All the characters learned something during the course of the story and it made them better people."
