Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

Delightful character development and a thought provoking characterization of bias and it's relationship to social pressure, social standing, and social norms. There is lots to consider and enjoy in this book and it feels like you could read it a couple of times and find more to consider and think about.

My only complaint is that Simonson's endings of both her books have felt a little rushed given the pace of the rest of the book. The climax seems overdramatic and the falling action truncated. This one less so than her other, but still felt as though it was attempting to be a bit overdramatic and compacted into a short period of time.
