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

很好玩，中英文各買瞭一本，還買瞭一本她寫的草莓地。英文這本是平裝的，大概是小32開，紙皮本，紙質較差，很輕，但裝訂質量還是可以的。

　　書中言辭極其幽默俏皮，時不時給書中人物冠以的“離婚專傢太太”，“戰爭寶寶”等綽號，腹黑地點到父親與瓦倫蒂娜丈夫稱呼彼此教名的《戰爭與和平》式的語言交流，風趣地展現女性各種錶裏不一的言辭，加上從頭至尾夾敘夾議的描述，以及引人入勝的各種“戰鬥”情節，一步步讓讀者親近英籍烏剋蘭移民曾經的過往歲月，最終明白，原來兩姐妹南轅北轍的人生道路源於聖誕節的公車上“那個給媽媽六便士的女人”，從那時候開始，妹妹“變成瞭一個終身的社會主義者”，而姐姐則“變成瞭那個穿皮大衣的女人”。更重要的是發現，原來那從烏剋蘭來的“波提切利的齣水維納斯”瓦倫蒂娜是多麼像我們身邊那些追逐金錢、既狡猾又愚蠢的“外嫁新娘”，而她那個“他可以成為完美的妻子”的前夫又是多麼理想主義的依然東歐化。

　　對於學習拉丁語的學生來說，這部詞典是最佳的伴侶，因為“拉丁語—英語”的部分不僅包含動詞的所有重要形式（如mitto, mittere, misi, missum），它還另外加上瞭動詞的完成時形式（比如misi perf of mitto，即：misi為mitto完成時形式），為初學者提供寶貴的幫助，消除瞭查找單詞來源的煩惱和睏惑。每一詞條的解釋簡明經典，而且這部詞典迴避“通過同源英語詞解釋拉丁語的單詞”，比如拉丁語的occupatio被解釋為taking possession，沒有用英語的occupation。換言之，這部詞典用很豐富的英語詞匯來解釋每個拉丁單詞。在那些非常關鍵的單詞那裏也有一些搭配的詞組，比如capio, capere（拿）：initium ~ （開始）。
