What do you do when your recently widowed 84 year old, Ukrainian Dad - who happens to be writing a history of tractors - falls in love with a voluptuous, gold-digger, half his age, who is intent on getting a foothold in the West, no matter what it costs? Well, you close ranks even though you and your sister have been feuding for years. A wonderfully comic and perceptive novel, with acutely observed characters.
