A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian

Sisters Vera and Nadezhda must put aside a lifetime of feuding to save their émigré engineer father from voloptuos gold-diger Valentina. With her proclivity for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine, she will stop at nothing in her pursuit of Western wealth.

But the sisters' campaign to oust Valentina unearths family secrets, uncovers fifty years of Europe's darkest history and sends them back to roots they'd much rather forget...

Utdrag ur boken:
"Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a glamorous blonde Ukrainian divorcee. He was eighty-four and she was thirty-six. She exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade, churning up the murky old waters, bringing to the surface a sludge of sloughed-off memories, giving the family ghosts a kick up the backside."
