A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka

4.0

This book is an absolute pleasure. In equals turns hilarious, despairing and dark, it reads super easily, while at the same time managing to fit in a good history lesson about the darker side of humanity. Lewycka's characters are sympathetic whilst being highly fallible, and their dialogue is sparkling. I only read it about a year ago, and it was a pleasure to pick up again.
