★★★★
"The world is full of small ignorances. We must all do out best to ignore them and thereby keep them small, don't you think?"
"Life does often get in the way of one's reading."
This novel was really cute! Essentially a love story between 68-year-old retired Major Pettigrew and a 58-year-old shopkeeper from Pakistan named Mrs. Ali. Brought together by their love of literature and drinking tea, the unlikely individuals become friends in a small villiage in England. Fighting pressure from their family and neighbors, the friendship begins to blossom into something more as the two struggle to find love at an older age. It got a bit slow in the middle, but this charming novel is a wonderful tale of life lessons and finding just what you need at a later age in life.
