It can be a great choice if you want to learn something about Ukraine without getting bored. It is not a bad book if you try not to care about the two-dimensional characters, but I can not say that it is one of those good books. What kept me reading the book was this sentence: “In language are encapsulated not only thoughts but cultural values.” Since I moved to England, I’ve been thinking about languages a lot, so it would be a shame if I quit the book after reading that sentence. It explains why people leave their countries and live in other countries. While the book is turning around this subject, it also allows us to look at the history of Ukraine and yes, tractors. They settle comfortably into their mothers’ bedroom and their home. A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian and a sentenceĪs the daughters expect Valentina is a woman in pursuit of passport and wealth and she brings her son as well, who is not a genius as Valentine says. That marriage, of course, alarms the two daughters, Vera and Nadia. He just wants to save her from Ukraine and give her the best of the best in the safe country that is the UK. Two years after the death of the mother of the family the father, who is eighty-four years old, marries to the young Valentina with big breasts from Ukraine. A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian tells the story of a Ukrainian family who had emigrated to England years ago.
