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.

A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian 乌克兰拖拉机简史 英文原版 [平装] 下载 mobi epub pdf 电子书书中言辞极其幽默俏皮,时不时给书中人物冠以的“离婚专家太太”,“战争宝宝”等绰号,腹黑地点到父亲与瓦伦蒂娜丈夫称呼彼此教名的《战争与和平》式的语言交流,风趣地展现女性各种表里不一的言辞,加上从头至尾夹叙夹议的描述,以及引人入胜的各种“战斗”情节,一步步让读者亲近英籍乌克兰移民曾经的过往岁月,最终明白,原来两姐妹南辕北辙的人生道路源于圣诞节的公车上“那个给妈妈六便士的女人”,从那时候开始,妹妹“变成了一个终身的社会主义者”,而姐姐则“变成了那个穿皮大衣的女人”。更重要的是发现,原来那从乌克兰来的“波提切利的出水维纳斯”瓦伦蒂娜是多么像我们身边那些追逐金钱、既狡猾又愚蠢的“外嫁新娘”,而她那个“他可以成为完美的妻子”的前夫又是多么理想主义的依然东欧化。
评分故事开始于八十四岁父亲要与三十六岁“波提切利的出水维纳斯”——乌克兰尤物瓦伦蒂娜结婚的电话,这时候,两个因为母亲遗产而已经进入敌对状态的姐妹,不由自主地开始捍卫父亲,其实是捍卫已经过世两年的母亲在家庭里还存在的影子力量,姐姐说“我们必须捍卫他,为了妈妈的缘故。虽说他毫无用处,可她还是我们家庭的一份子,我们不能让他获胜”,也在就在一步步抵御外敌入侵的过程,妹妹明白,“大姐头还和我在一条船上!”,她慢慢了解了自己的家族史,逐渐理解了爱钱如命的姐姐,理解她何以不追究过往——因为“过去肮脏不堪。就像个下水道。你不该在那里玩,别管它,忘掉它”,由此,两人最终回归成为一致御敌的好姐妹,分工合作,终于让乌克兰美女离开了自己的家回乌克兰去了。
