The Lubetkin Legacy
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 place rich in language - whether its Romanian, Ukrainian, Russian, Swahili or buxom housing officers talking managementese. 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.
Marina Lewycka is back in this hilarious, farcical, tender novel of modern issues and manners. A place where husbands go absent without leave and councillors sacrifice cherry orchards at the altar of new builds.
