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

　　整体小说脉络清晰，一步步宛如侦探小说一样的推进家族史，期间不断展现的父亲著作的《乌克兰拖拉机简史》，一方面让读者明了父亲理想主义的见地——“拖拉机必须始终被当做大自然的辅助者来使用，而非大自然的驾驭者。”由此引申出父亲的结论——“绝不要让技术（青按：其实是他前一段所指“意识形态”）成为你的主人，也绝不要利用它去统驭他人” 这是作者对于书中牵涉到的各种意识形态的观点，也正是这本书想要对言不由衷的理想主义父亲的一个“以子之矛攻子之盾”的回击。

　　或许，对于不知道那些历史，或者对那些历史知之甚少的人来说，乌克兰的历史遥远之极，而对于上了年纪的中国人来说，乌克兰又代表什么？从他1991年苏联解体之后它仅次于俄罗斯么？是乌克兰大婶，彪悍的哥萨克，还有乌克兰的大白猪，更有乌克兰大饥荒？对于现在的世界来说，是石油和天然气。乌克兰的作家呢？顶著名的是果戈理，当然还是著名的奥斯特洛夫斯基。在我们开始冷落前苏联和北方那片辽阔土地上的文学之后，几乎是看不见新的作品。现在可以见到的，也仅仅是已经英籍乌克兰裔女作家玛琳娜·柳薇卡这本《乌克兰拖拉机简史》。
