A short history of tractors in Ukranian

I enjoyed reading this novel, and given the stress that I've been under at work recently, it was the perfect read requiring just the right amount of brainpower.  The story is told from the point of view of a daughter who is coming to terms with the loss of her mother and her new relationship with her 80+ year old father who has lost his head over his new glamourous Ukranian blond busty bride.  An entertaining read, for sure, with some very dark humour and an interesting perspective on the migration from the former soviet union.
