Marina Lewycka A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian [Used Book] Used, light reading wear, pages are lightly age toned 0141020520 / 9780141020525 Paperback Penguin For years, Nadezhda and Vera, two Ukrainian sisters, raised in England by their refugee parents, have had as little as possible to do with each other. But now they find they'd better learn how to get along, because since their mother's death their aging father has been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman has just entered his life. Valentina a bosomy young synthetic blonde from the Ukraine, seems to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leaves this world with as little money as possible. If Nadezhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried about why Nadezhda and Vera are so different. In the meantime, oblivious to it all, their father carries on with the great work of his dotage, a grand history of the tractor. Price:
