玛琳娜•柳薇卡(Marina Lewycka) 二战结束时出生于德国基尔(Kiel)的难民营,父母均为乌克兰人。她在英国长大成人。在谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学任教。已婚,女儿已长大成人,居住在谢菲尔德。
For years, Nadezhda and Vera, two Ukrainian sisters, raised in England by their refugee parents, have had as little as possible to do with each other - and they have their reasons. But now they find they'd better learn how to get along, because since their mother's death their aging father has been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman has just entered his life. Valentina, a bosomy young synthetic blonde from the Ukraine, seems to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leave this world with as little money to his name as possible.If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. But separating their addled and annoyingly lecherous dad from his new love will prove to be no easy feat - Valentina is a ruthless pro and the two sisters swiftly realize that they are mere amateurs when it comes to ruthlessness. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried one of them all, from the War, the one that explains much about why Nadazhda and Vera are so different. In the meantime, oblivious to it all, their father carries on with the great work of his dotage, a grand history of the tractor.

评分文/陈嫣婧 刊于《南方都市报》2012-02-26 我是真心喜欢柳薇卡的《乌克兰拖拉机简史》。现总结出喜欢它的理由如下: 一、它不属于类型小说,你很难评判它通俗还是高雅,要说纯文学,它还不够阳春白雪,要说通俗小说,它又不乏那么点高傲的心气,如果你要把她放在书架上归类...
评分“我母亲去世两年后,我父亲与一位离过婚的妖艳迷人的乌克兰金发女郎坠入爱河。他时年八十四岁,而她三十六岁。”《乌克兰拖拉机简史》在一派热腾腾、闹烘烘的喜剧氛围中开场。随着老夫少妻的奇异跨国婚恋而来的是一种颇似闹剧的现实书写:两个失和多年的女儿薇拉与娜杰日达,...
昨天我半夜终于看完了这本书。过去的荒谬配上喜剧的外衣让人更加心酸了。“活下去就是胜利”
