A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian

Marina Lewycka

Christine read about 60 pages of this and then gave up, finding that not enough happened. It starts wittily but never moves on. The story concerns two sisters, worried about their inheritance now that their father, a widower in his 80s is about to remarry. The title of the book refers to a book being written by their father.

Doreen read up to page 100 and then gave up. She found it obvious, dreary and not funny.
