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

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!!

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!

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.

This is the story of two estranged daughters trying to save their father from a money-grubbing younger woman. The sisters finally come together in their effort and learn much about the history of their family along the way. They learn to accept each other as adults and to understand their father who is not just old but eccentric. It was not an easy book to read. The author jumps from present to past with passages of the history of tractors thrown in. I did like the characters and it was very funny at times.
