內容簡介

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.

精彩書評

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

　　這部詞典的另一個特點是它提供很多基本的語法錶。在一開始（IV – XXVI頁）就有縮寫錶，關於發音、重音、長音的說明，名詞變格錶，動詞變位錶，一目瞭然。

　　或許，對於不知道那些曆史，或者對那些曆史知之甚少的人來說，烏剋蘭的曆史遙遠之極，而對於上瞭年紀的中國人來說，烏剋蘭又代錶什麼？從他1991年蘇聯解體之後它僅次於俄羅斯麼？是烏剋蘭大嬸，彪悍的哥薩剋，還有烏剋蘭的大白豬，更有烏剋蘭大飢荒？對於現在的世界來說，是石油和天然氣。烏剋蘭的作傢呢？頂著名的是果戈理，當然還是著名的奧斯特洛夫斯基。在我們開始冷落前蘇聯和北方那片遼闊土地上的文學之後，幾乎是看不見新的作品。現在可以見到的，也僅僅是已經英籍烏剋蘭裔女作傢瑪琳娜·柳薇卡這本《烏剋蘭拖拉機簡史》。
