On the road, round the world - preview
Two Caravans by Marina Lewycka, published by Fig Tree (Penguin), £1699 in hardback
Marina Lewycka's father has actually written a short history of tractors, and in Ukrainian, too He must be some character, this father of hers, because he makes another brief appearance in Lewycka's comic, touching and politically robust second novel, Two Caravans In this story he's ninety-two years old, and he doesn't marry a woman who spends his money on breast implants, he just proposes marriage to most of the residents and staff in his nursing home But he's chiefly in love with the gearbox of his old motorbike
Alison Leonard, Wirral & Chester MM
