«Kurze Geschichte des Traktors auf Ukrainisch» is Marina Lewycka's novel, published by dtv in paperback (358 pages, in German).
Nadia and her sister try to stop the wedding of their 84-year-old widowed father to Valentina, a 36-year-old Ukrainian who has arrived in England; the daughters suspect she is only after British citizenship. The novel combines family comedy with the history of Ukraine, told through the father's manuscript, and with the family's own emigration.
German translation by Elfi Hartenstein of the original A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian (2005), finalist for the Booker Prize and the Orange Prize.
Humorous novel for book clubs and for those who enjoy family stories and Ukrainian immigration to the UK.
