'Lively . . . a joy to read' - The Times Shortlisted for the
Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize From the bestselling author of A
Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian North London in the
twenty-first century: a place where a son will swiftly adopt an old
lady and take her home from hospital to impersonate his dear
departed mother, rather than lose the council flat. A time of
golden job opportunities, though you might have to dress up as a
coffee bean or work as an intern at an undertaker or put up with
champagne and posh French dinners while your boss hits on you. A
place rich in language - whether it's Romanian, Ukrainian, Russian,
Swahili or buxom housing officers talking managementese. A place
where husbands go absent without leave and councillors sacrifice
cherry orchards at the altar of new builds. Marina Lewycka is back
in this hilarious, farcical, tender novel of modern issues and
manners.
