Marina Lewycka is a British novelist of Ukrainian origin, currently living in Sheffield, England.
Lewycka was born in a refugee camp in Kiel, Germany after World War II. Her family then moved to England where she now lives. She was educated at Keele University and works as a lecturer in media studies at Sheffield Hallam University.
In addition to her fiction, Lewycka has written a number of books giving practical advice for carers of elderly people, published by the charity Age Concern.
With this wise, tender, and deeply funny novel, Marina Lewycka takes her place alongside Zadie Smith and Monica Ali as a writer who can capture the unchanging verities of family. When an elderly and newly widowed Ukrainian immigrant announces his intention to remarry, his daughters must set aside their longtime feud to thwart him. For their father’s intended is a voluptuous old-country gold digger with a proclivity for green satin underwear and an appetite for the good life of the West. As the hostilities mount and family secrets spill out, A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian combines sex, bitchiness, wit, and genuine warmth in its celebration of the pleasure of growing old disgracefully.

So witty and vivid. But I am a postmodern woman. A feminist. A protestor. How do I act?
评分昏聵神經的老父,美艷貪婪的繼母,精明刻薄的姐姐,焦頭爛額的妹妹,彆忘瞭還有去世的節儉母親,每兩個人之間都有獨特的戲劇衝突,每每衝突之下,是曆史的積澱和價值的衝突。烏剋蘭的集權,英國的民主,德國的獨裁,蘇聯的壓抑。傢庭故事的種種摺射齣的是曆史的種種。 烏剋蘭拖拉機簡史,也是那段特殊曆史時期的寫照。
评分昨天晚上火車上,看到倒數第二章直接哭瞭……我脆弱的小心靈。不過笑的次數要多一些。
评分關於移民的思想史。所有的經曆與擔憂與嚮往與中國人何其相似。作者居然想到用如此搞怪的故事來闡述這樣一個宏大的主題,真是很不容易。
评分沒想到最後還是個haopy ending……這老頭看起來很怪,但仔細想想隨便哪個人不小心也會長成那樣哈哈
