Marina Lewicka's book is very funny, and the title should not put you off, as there is not much about tractors in the book, just everyday life for Ukrainians settling in England. It has been at the top of the bestsellers in England for a long time now.

Not sure why there is something on Nahaylo on this review, maybe it belongs somewhere else?
