Product Description
Nadezhda and Vera's aging father had been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman had entered his life. Valentina, a bosomy blonde, seemed to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leave this world with as little money to his name as possible. If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will.

 perfect screenplay material August 24, 2010
Mr. J. P. Eedy (south wales)
This brilliant little book just cries out for a film adaptation.
Never mind the reviews that simply give you an abridged summary of the plot the characters leaped of the page for me and it is one of the funniest and most compassionate book I have read for a long time.
 Humorous but vindictive August 9, 2010
Katie Stevens (London, UK)
The reviews on the cover of this book claim that it is 'extremely funny' and 'mad and hilarious'. While these reviews may be true - the book is indeed very funny - they present a distinctly biased, innacurate picture of what the book is like. The reviews suggest that this novel is a light-hearted and frivolous comedy, but this is far from being the case.
Although the book maintains an almost constant comic tone and has its moments of levity, but the overwhelming impression is of something darker. At times, the story was desperately and surprisingly sad. The more usual humourous tone arises from interactions between the delightful cast of characters who are bitter and resentful, sad and lonely, or an interesting blend of other negative emotions, as they snipe at each other. Throughout the book I was continually aware that when I was laughing, I was laughing at someone and I felt slightly guilty about doing it. The spiteful bickering and snide remarks eventually lead to greater understanding between the characters and a satisfying, happy conclusion, but they do comprise the majority of the book. I liked the book a lot and at times it made me laugh out loud, it was just very different from the happy families comedy I was expecting.
A good short read August 7, 2010
Ms. A. Vijan (Northampton, England)
This book is short and sweet ... quite funny at times... its a nice book to have on your book shelf for a lazy Sunday afternoon
A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian July 17, 2010
Pamh
I found the book very entertaining, far more than the title suggests. I would not have read it had my friend not recommended it to me. I am now doing the same for others as I found it very funny and yet easy to relate to.
Fascinating read July 17, 2010
Mrs. J. M. Ovens (Bristol)
This book was in excellent condition - not been read as far as I could tell. It is very good reading, although I wouldn't call it hilarious as described on the cover. I have lent it out now to others!
