Major Ernest Pettigrew (Ret'd) is not interested in the frivolity of the modern world.

But when his brother's death, and a love of Kipling, sparks an unexpected friendship with the widowed village shopkeeper, Mrs Ali, the Major is forced to confront the realities of the twenty first century. 2010.
