Two Caravans is the hilarious and engaging second novel from
bestselling author Marina Lewycka. A field of strawberries in
Kent... And sitting in it are two caravans - one for the men and
one for the women. The residents are from all over: miner's son
Andriy is from the old Ukraine, while sexy young Irina is from the
new: they each other warily. There are the Poles, Tomasz and Yola;
two Chinese girls; and Emauel from Malawi. They're all here to pick
strawberries in England's green and pleasant land. But these days
England's not so pleasant for immigrants. Not with Russian
gangster-wannabes like Vulk, who's taken a shine to Irina and
thinks kidnapping is a wooing strategy. And so Andriy - who really
doesn't fancy Irina, honest - must set off in search of that girl
he's not in love with. 'Immensely appealing. All but sings with
zest for life...could hardly be more engaging, shrewd and winningly
perceptive' Sunday Times 'Extremely funny, closely observed
insights, scenes of farce, tragedy and horror' The Times Literary
Supplement 'Hilarious and horrifying, Two Caravans is funny, clever
and well observed' Guardian Bestselling author Marina Lewkyca has
received great critical acclaim since the publication of her
hilarious first novel A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian in
2005, which was the winner of the Bollinger Everyman Prize for
Comic Fiction 2005, winner of the Saga Award for Wit 2005,
shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2005 and longlisted
for the Booker prize 2005. Her other humorous novels We Are All
Made of Glue and Various Pets Alive and Dead are also available
from Penguin. Two Caravans is published as Strawberry Fields in the
USA and Canada.
