Wishful Wednesday June 16

Wishful Wednesday hosted by The Bluestocking Guide


It's Wishful Wednesday again and my friend Tracy has provided me with a perfect book to wish for: "The Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian" by Marina Lewycka.

It tells of the exploits of two feuding sisters trying to save their elderly father from a Ukrainian divorcee, Valentina. This book won the 2005 Saga Award for Wit, the 2005 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, and was shortlisted for the 2005 Orange Prize for Fiction.
