#ThrowbackThursday. A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian


Lewycka, Marina "A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian" - 2005

The story of two Ukrainian sisters, Nadezhda and Vera whose family found refuge in England.

This is probably even more valid than it was when it was written. Look at the refugees coming from Syria, Afghanistan and other parts where there is a war on. Look at the impacts of Brexit.

But this novel contains more than just immigration, there's sibling rivalry, ageneration conflict, the Cold War,  jealousy, sociology. A good book worth reading.
