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.

評分不錯
評分有瞭。曹羽目光一掃身側的雙手飛石夏元之,後者立時會意,足下一個墊步,已飛快地襲嚮門前,伸手拉開瞭廳門,廳門乍開,卻與外麵站著的那個人成瞭臉對臉地照瞭盤兒。夏元之一驚之下,腳下一個踉蹌,禁不住後退瞭幾步,門外人卻把握著這個機會,就勢邁步而入。白臉,濃盾,一身黑衣,瘦削的個頭兒,這副長相,對於在場的幾個人來說,都談不上陌生,敢情他正是那夜樹梢現身,“無名氏”手下的“報財童子”。夏元之怒叱一聲:“大膽!”腳下一個上步,

評分整體小說脈絡清晰,一步步宛如偵探小說一樣的推進傢族史,期間不斷展現的父親著作的《烏剋蘭拖拉機簡史》,一方麵讓讀者明瞭父親理想主義的見地——“拖拉機必須始終被當做大自然的輔助者來使用,而非大自然的駕馭者。”由此引申齣父親的結論——“絕不要讓技術(青按:其實是他前一段所指“意識形態”)成為你的主人,也絕不要利用它去統馭他人” 這是作者對於書中牽涉到的各種意識形態的觀點,也正是這本書想要對言不由衷的理想主義父親的一個“以子之矛攻子之盾”的迴擊。
評分隨著小說的推進,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。
