A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian by Marina Lewycka

This was a great fun read. It tells the story of two sisters who don't get along coping with their aging father's new marriage to a young Ukranian immigrant gold-digger. The characters are funny (particularly the father and his squishy-squashy problems) and the story is quick and charming. There was a book-within-a-book aspect of it I was not crazy about, but other than that I really enjoyed this one. Even better, I have not been satisfied with the ending to a book in a long time, and this one "hit the spot." Recommended.
