St. Cornelius Church recently issued the following announcement.
The St. Cornelius Literary Society – New!
After careful polling and without foreign influence from oversees, the winner of our next Literary Society reading is Major Pettegrew's Last Stand, by Helen Simonson, with 24 votes. Jennifer the Damned placed 2nd with 13 votes and Brideshead Revisited showing at 9 votes.
You are about to travel to Edgecombe St. Mary, a small village in the English countryside filled with rolling hills, thatched cottages, and a cast of characters both hilariously original and as familiar as the members of your own family. Among them is Major Ernest Pettigrew (retired), the unlikely hero of Helen Simonson's wondrous debut. Wry, courtly, opinionated, and completely endearing, Major Pettigrew is one of the most indelible characters in contemporary fiction, and from the very first page of this remarkable novel he will steal your heart.
