A Short 
History of Tractors in Ukrainian. 
Marina Lewycka, £7.99. Sisters Vera and Nadezhda must put aside a lifetime 
of feuding to save their emigre engineer father from voluptuous gold-digger Valentina. 
Withj her proclivity for green satin underwear and boil- in- the- bag cuisine, 
she will stop at nothing in her pursuit of western wealth. But the sisters' campaign 
to oust Valentina unearths family secrets, uncovers fifty years of Europe's darkest 
history and sends them back to roots hey'd much rather forget...
