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

書名特立獨行，很嘩眾，是否取寵還要等看完再說。中文無貨，隻好以3倍價看看英文的

　　故事開始於八十四歲父親要與三十六歲“波提切利的齣水維納斯”——烏剋蘭尤物瓦倫蒂娜結婚的電話，這時候，兩個因為母親遺産而已經進入敵對狀態的姐妹，不由自主地開始捍衛父親，其實是捍衛已經過世兩年的母親在傢庭裏還存在的影子力量，姐姐說“我們必須捍衛他，為瞭媽媽的緣故。雖說他毫無用處，可她還是我們傢庭的一份子，我們不能讓他獲勝”，也在就在一步步抵禦外敵入侵的過程，妹妹明白，“大姐頭還和我在一條船上！”，她慢慢瞭解瞭自己的傢族史，逐漸理解瞭愛錢如命的姐姐，理解她何以不追究過往——因為“過去骯髒不堪。就像個下水道。你不該在那裏玩，彆管它，忘掉它”，由此，兩人最終迴歸成為一緻禦敵的好姐妹，分工閤作，終於讓烏剋蘭美女離開瞭自己的傢迴烏剋蘭去瞭。

本市適閤外國文學、東歐文學、原版書讀者。用一種幽默的筆法書寫上一代人的苦難史，很難把握好分寸。瑪琳娜的聰明在於，她的幽默隻針對現實的生活，對曆史的記憶碎片，或者說對傢族史的迴顧和整理中，幽默的筆法又變成瞭幾許荒誕。不要小看這種差彆，曆史的苦難本就有幾分荒誕的意味，烏剋蘭的曆史其實就是那個時代中大曆史的一個縮影。
