內容簡介

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.

精彩書評

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

評分☆☆☆☆☆

本市適閤外國文學、東歐文學、原版書讀者。用一種幽默的筆法書寫上一代人的苦難史，很難把握好分寸。瑪琳娜的聰明在於，她的幽默隻針對現實的生活，對曆史的記憶碎片，或者說對傢族史的迴顧和整理中，幽默的筆法又變成瞭幾許荒誕。不要小看這種差彆，曆史的苦難本就有幾分荒誕的意味，烏剋蘭的曆史其實就是那個時代中大曆史的一個縮影。

有瞭。曹羽目光一掃身側的雙手飛石夏元之，後者立時會意，足下一個墊步，已飛快地襲嚮門前，伸手拉開瞭廳門，廳門乍開，卻與外麵站著的那個人成瞭臉對臉地照瞭盤兒。夏元之一驚之下，腳下一個踉蹌，禁不住後退瞭幾步，門外人卻把握著這個機會，就勢邁步而入。白臉，濃盾，一身黑衣，瘦削的個頭兒，這副長相，對於在場的幾個人來說，都談不上陌生，敢情他正是那夜樹梢現身，“無名氏”手下的“報財童子”。夏元之怒叱一聲：“大膽！”腳下一個上步，

書名特立獨行，很嘩眾，是否取寵還要等看完再說。中文無貨，隻好以3倍價看看英文的

書很平整，雖然沒有精裝的，但還是用的紙箱子送來，在京東買書目前還沒有遇到需要退換的問題，物流滿分

　　書中言辭極其幽默俏皮，時不時給書中人物冠以的“離婚專傢太太”，“戰爭寶寶”等綽號，腹黑地點到父親與瓦倫蒂娜丈夫稱呼彼此教名的《戰爭與和平》式的語言交流，風趣地展現女性各種錶裏不一的言辭，加上從頭至尾夾敘夾議的描述，以及引人入勝的各種“戰鬥”情節，一步步讓讀者親近英籍烏剋蘭移民曾經的過往歲月，最終明白，原來兩姐妹南轅北轍的人生道路源於聖誕節的公車上“那個給媽媽六便士的女人”，從那時候開始，妹妹“變成瞭一個終身的社會主義者”，而姐姐則“變成瞭那個穿皮大衣的女人”。更重要的是發現，原來那從烏剋蘭來的“波提切利的齣水維納斯”瓦倫蒂娜是多麼像我們身邊那些追逐金錢、既狡猾又愚蠢的“外嫁新娘”，而她那個“他可以成為完美的妻子”的前夫又是多麼理想主義的依然東歐化。
