内容简介

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 - and they have their reasons. 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 leave this world with as little money to his name as possible.If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. But separating their addled and annoyingly lecherous dad from his new love will prove to be no easy feat - Valentina is a ruthless pro and the two sisters swiftly realize that they are mere amateurs when it comes to ruthlessness. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried one of them all, from the War, the one that explains much about why Nadazhda 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.

精彩书评

More than just a jolly romp with political undertones is the way it captures the peculiar flavour of Eastern European immigrant life . . . a very rich mixture indeed, as well as very enjoyable reading.
--The Times

A delightful first novel . . . an understanding of history, a profundity, and yet a lightness of touch, that are a joy . . . funny, touching and completely convincing.
--The Spectator

在微博上看见介绍，读了点译文，觉得好玩，就买了原版。企鹅的纸皮书，小32开。随手翻了下，文字似乎比较浅显。封面的图是故意印邪的吗？收到的也是如此。

　　“拉丁语—英语词典”虽然不太厚，只有236页，但其词汇量相当大，完全能满足初学者的需要。“英语—拉丁语词典”的部分（192页）能帮助学生造拉丁语句子或进行翻译工作，而且在一定程度上也起到“同义词词典”的作用。比如查英语的good就有拉丁语的bonus, probus, idoneus, aptus；查grand就发现拉丁语有很多同义词：amplus, illustris, egregius, lautus, magnificus, grandis, sublimis。多查多学这些同义词和近义词能丰富词汇，并且培养拉丁语和英语口才及优美和准确的表达方式。

　　随着小说的推进，看见两姐妹妄图将满口满脑理想主义的父亲从对寄托在瓦伦蒂娜身上的乌克兰式怀旧迷恋之中拉回来，父亲和姐姐经历过的“乌克兰大饥饿”和“肃清运动”等等的阴影便时隐时现地暴露出来，甚至纳粹集中营也时时闪现，而且那些暗影其实一直存在，只是“他们是如何怀着深锁在心中的可怕秘密度过自己的余生的？他们怎么还能种植蔬菜，修理摩托车，送我们上学，担心我们的学习成绩？但是他们那么做了。”作者玛琳娜·柳薇卡这样写道，也让读者看到，也正因为这些可怕的秘密，令着迷了乌克兰尤物瓦伦蒂娜的父亲一心想要做“英雄救美”壮举，也一心想帮助瓦伦蒂娜培养她那个所谓智力超常其实中等的孩子进入英国的名校受教育。
