This has little to do with a history of tractors, and lots about the story of a widowed Ukrainian living in England, and the unraveling of his recent marriage to a "glamorous blond Ukrainian divorcee. He was eighty-four and she was thirty-six. She exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade...". Characters are memorable. Winner of the Man Booker prize. Have fun! Jo

This will sound strange, but this is a very delightful tale of an elderly widower who falls for a money-grubbing younger woman and how the widower's two estranged daughters finally come together to save their father. Really, it was a joy to read!

A story of two sisters who must come together after years of disagreement to help their father from a disastrous marriage to a much younger woman who is labeled a goldigger. This was such a pleasant surprise to a wonderful story that had nothing to do with tractors and the characters are fabulous! Well worth the read!!

had a problem with the language and the style of the story, but i found the actual story content quite amusing and much better than i expected.
