Zach is 18. He is bright and articulate. He's also an alcoholic and in rehab instead of high school, but he doesn't remember how he got there. He's not sure he wants to remember. Something bad must have happened. Something really, really bad. Remembering sucks and being alive—well, what's up with that?

I am stunned..

This was just such a powerfully and gorgeously told story, I don’t have a sufficiently advanced vocabulary to adequately express just how much I loved it..!
Mr Andrews performance of Mr Sáenz work had me sobbing in places both from sadness and happiness in turn because I was there myself, I felt the anxiety and the pain and in turn the happiness...
I highly, -highly- recommend it..!

Historia4 out of 5 stars 34
Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a glamorous blonde Ukrainian divorcee. He was 84 and she was 36. She exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade, churning up the murky water, bringing to the surface sludge of sloughed-off memories, giving the family ghosts a kick up the backside. Sisters Vera and Nadezhda must put aside a lifetime of feuding to save their émigré engineer father from voluptuous gold-digger Valentina.

Ukranian is NOT my strong suit....

What made the experience of listening to A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian the most enjoyable?
I especially enjoyed the narrator's characterizations, and I feel very blessed that I can read along in my paperback copy of the book, when she breaks out the accents :-D
What other book might you compare A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian to and why?
I will not compare it to any other book, none springs to mind, to be honest.... It seems like one of a kind, to me...
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
My humor may be a tad on the morbid side, but I found some of the passages very entertaining, the way they were told were hilarious to me, and I laughed out loud, even on the bus... :-)
That said, I do not condone abuse and mistreatment of the elders...
