'A short History of Tractors in Ukranian' by Marina Lewycka.
I do tend to be drawn to books that have obscure titles like this one.
The book begins:
''Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a glamourous blonde Ukraninian divorcee. He was eighty-four, she was thirty six''
A lighthearted comic read with some more serious issues (hidden pasts, sibling rivalry, rights to inheritence, marriages of convenience, the lure of the west, history or tractors...) underlying it all. Delightful.
