A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A Short history of Tractors in Ukrainian follows the story of an 84 year old man who marries a 37 year old woman. Narrated by Nadia, the old man’s daughter, the story unfolds through a mountain of family drama – both past and present.

I could turn this review into a long rant about the things it brought up in my head – but honestly it’s a stretch! Where it took me in my head is surely not where it will take you. It’s a good read though. Quirky, fun and thoughtful. I did definitely enjoy it!
