A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian - Marina Lewycka


I forgot to list this one too after reading it some weeks/months ago, but that's not a reflection of what I thought. It was enjoyable and funny, about two sisters who plot to save their aging widowed father from marrying a scheming blonde busty woman who's using him as her passport to immigrate into England. In the process of pursuing a common goal the sisters experience a reconciliation after longstanding hostility. There are poignant moments too when Nadezhda finds out the events in her childhood and her parents' history.
