book review a short history of tractors in ukrainian

So, not only would I recommend listening, I was left hoping for a sequel. The father was also well done, although he sounded an awful lot like a Russian character in a mystery series I listen to ('What's Petru doing here?'). Loathsome though Valentina behaved throughout, I looked forward to her scenes as Thomas laid on the Ukrainian accent and broken English for maximum comic effect. I'm not certain I would be giving the print version such a high rating, but the narrator hit a home run with the material as far as I'm concerned. yet speaks no English! Still, the farce helps balance out the more serious details of the family's painful past. No spoiler, but the later developments were a bit much also: one key player comes to England as part of a long-term conference/training scheme.

The award-winning novels of wit Novel Award. The book's not perfect - for one thing, I found the War years details clunkily done, awkward to get through. The novel won the Bollinger popular Woodhouse comedy Novel Award and was the first female winner of the award. Valentina may be scheming and materialistic, but a golden opportunity was thrust at her, so no surprise she took it! Their father did, indeed, put himself into the mess, but he did so much for the family over the years (as becomes evident later), that I could forgive him a well-intentioned idea ('rescuing' a Ukrainian woman and her son) gone horribly wrong. Nadia is a bit of a put-upon mouse at first, but comes into her own as well. Since we see the action through the point-of-view of the younger daughter Nadia, naturally we're going to find the sister she dislikes (or at least resents) offputting at least until the full story comes out later in the book. I can see why it might seem so in print, but in the audiobook they were quite well-defined (quibble though that Vera and Valentina were kind of similar sounding names, so I got them a bit confused at times).

Some readers really disliked this one, claiming the characters are insufferable.
