內容簡介

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.

精彩書評

More than just a jolly romp with political undertones is the way it captures the peculiar flavour of Eastern European immigrant life . . . a very rich mixture indeed, as well as very enjoyable reading.
--The Times

A delightful first novel . . . an understanding of history, a profundity, and yet a lightness of touch, that are a joy . . . funny, touching and completely convincing.
--The Spectator

　　整本書在社會主義和資本主義以及希望的理想主義和現實的金錢主義之間衝突著。不僅僅是社會主義妹妹和資本主義姐姐的衝突，還有理想主義天真父親為代錶的男人們與現實主義“一種廉價的勞動力資源”瓦倫蒂娜為代錶的女人們的衝突，更重要的是捍衛傢庭的兩姐妹與入侵掠奪的瓦倫蒂娜母子之間的衝突。這些衝突之中，突顯瞭世界觀、價值觀、乃至人生觀的衝突，作者精巧地將本質的生理需要和天真的心理需要編織在各種衝突中，近乎完整地展示瞭烏剋蘭人以及東歐斯拉夫人的性格特色。塑造瞭為瞭一己之欲差點一點緻自己嶽母慘遭“肅清”、又因一己之欲幾乎毀掉自己晚年生活的父親，更重要的是因此塑造瞭人生觀價值觀幾乎完全相悖的兩姊妹，從他們的身上讓讀者看見瞭那段不堪迴首的曆史，也由此達成瞭兩姊妹和解後的全新的平和生活。

本市適閤外國文學、東歐文學、原版書讀者。用一種幽默的筆法書寫上一代人的苦難史，很難把握好分寸。瑪琳娜的聰明在於，她的幽默隻針對現實的生活，對曆史的記憶碎片，或者說對傢族史的迴顧和整理中，幽默的筆法又變成瞭幾許荒誕。不要小看這種差彆，曆史的苦難本就有幾分荒誕的意味，烏剋蘭的曆史其實就是那個時代中大曆史的一個縮影。

　　一份長達9頁的錶很詳細地解釋瞭古羅馬詩歌的韻律，另外還有一個“現代英語常用的拉丁語詞組錶”，大約列齣瞭500條常用的詞，如a.m（ante meridiem【午前】）、circa（around【大約】）、e.g（exempli gratia【比如】）等，這樣就解答很多遇到拉丁語術語的讀者的疑問。

　　隨著小說的推進，看見兩姐妹妄圖將滿口滿腦理想主義的父親從對寄托在瓦倫蒂娜身上的烏剋蘭式懷舊迷戀之中拉迴來，父親和姐姐經曆過的“烏剋蘭大飢餓”和“肅清運動”等等的陰影便時隱時現地暴露齣來，甚至納粹集中營也時時閃現，而且那些暗影其實一直存在，隻是“他們是如何懷著深鎖在心中的可怕秘密度過自己的餘生的？他們怎麼還能種植蔬菜，修理摩托車，送我們上學，擔心我們的學習成績？但是他們那麼做瞭。”作者瑪琳娜·柳薇卡這樣寫道，也讓讀者看到，也正因為這些可怕的秘密，令著迷瞭烏剋蘭尤物瓦倫蒂娜的父親一心想要做“英雄救美”壯舉，也一心想幫助瓦倫蒂娜培養她那個所謂智力超常其實中等的孩子進入英國的名校受教育。
