Description
A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian is a hilarious and poignant debut novel by Marina Lewycka. When her father falls for a glamorous Ukrainian divorcée, two years after his wife's death, the family is thrown into turmoil. Sisters Vera and Nadezhda must put aside their differences to save their father from a gold-digger with a penchant for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine.
As they try to oust the new woman from their lives, the sisters uncover family secrets and 50 years of Europe's darkest history. This is a story about the power of family, the complexity of love, and the resilience of the human spirit.
With its unique blend of humor, heart, and historical insight, A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian is a compelling and thought-provoking read.
