So, within a few pages I realized this was simply a love story between elderly people. Well, I thought, I'll give it a try, but it will probably take a long time to get through it.

It didn't happen that way. Within two or three chapters I was hooked, and the other books I had open were often left to lay there while I eagerly pursued the developing romance between Major Pettigrew and Mrs. Ali.

The author also did a wonderful job of creating distinct personalities of even many of the minor characters. And the interaction of all the characters were a pleasure to read about, leaving you with the feeling these were not characters in a book, but real people.

Highly recommended.
