The bitter and funny story that Marina Levitskaya tells is not just a family saga of Ukrainian immigrants in England. This is the history of Ukraine and all of Europe, which survived the nightmares of the 20th century, the history of man and humanity. And of course - a brief history of tractors. In Ukrainian. A book that is not only talked about, but also argued about. “Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a gorgeous Ukrainian blonde divorcee. He was eighty-four, she was thirty-six. It exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade, stirring up troubled waters, pushing pent-up memories to the surface and kicking our family ghosts in the ass. ... It seemed to me that this story was turning into a crude farce, but now I saw that it was turning into a cheap tragedy.”
