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

　　在“英语—拉丁语词典”后还加上了一个长达255页的“拉丁语语法大全”（原名Grammar and Verb Tables），其中说明名词的性、数、格，形容词的变格和比较、副词、代词、介词、数词（7-79页）还有句法结构的详细分析和翻译知识（80-145页），动词的种种变位形式以及不规则动词的表格（146-238页）。最后的索引（239-255页）帮助读者找出个别单词的语法形式。实际上这255页的附录完全可以用为拉丁语教材，因为其中也有很多例句。

本市适合外国文学、东欧文学、原版书读者。用一种幽默的笔法书写上一代人的苦难史，很难把握好分寸。玛琳娜的聪明在于，她的幽默只针对现实的生活，对历史的记忆碎片，或者说对家族史的回顾和整理中，幽默的笔法又变成了几许荒诞。不要小看这种差别，历史的苦难本就有几分荒诞的意味，乌克兰的历史其实就是那个时代中大历史的一个缩影。
