I'm listening to a boring podcast about life in Soviet Era Ukraine.
There's a delightfully unhinged novel called A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka that I think you would enjoy very much. If you haven't found it already that is. A best seller in its day and stands the test of time. Does not noticeably contain tractors.
omg, I have that on audiobook. ๐ฌ Not listened to it yet
Enjoy! I loved the ending - it just fit so well.
I'll have to find it, I think it's on my itunes account ๐
I believe it was quite harsh.
I wouldn't want to be a farm worker.
