Описание: A field of strawberries in Kent...And sitting in it two caravans - one for the men and one for the women. The residents are from all over: miner's son Andriy is from the old Ukraine, while sexy young Irina is from the new: they eye each other warily. There are the Poles Tomasz and Yola, two Chinese girls and Emanuel from Malawi. They're all here to pick strawberries in England's green and pleasant land. But these days England's not so pleasant for immigrants. Not with Russian gangster-wannabes like Vulk, who's taken a shine to Irina and thinks kidnapping is a wooing strategy. And so Andriy - who really doesn't fancy Irina, honest - must set off in search of that girl he's not in love with.

Описание: Lentils, free love, radical politics and family truths..."Various Pets Alive and Dead" is the wonderfully funny fourth novel from Marina Lewycka, author of the bestselling "A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian". For twenty years Doro and Marcus lived in a commune, convinced lentils and free love would change the world. They didn't. What they did do was give their children a terror of radicalism, dirt, cooking rotas and poverty. Their daughter Clara wants nothing less conformist than her own, clean bathroom. Their son Serge hides the awkward fact that he's a banker earning loadsamoney. So when Doro and Marcus spring a surprise on their kids - just as the world is rocked in ways they always wished for - the family is forced to confront some thorny truths about themselves..."Wonderfully funny ...a dizzy, eye-watering treat ...Lewycka is somewhere between Hilary Mantel in her satirical mode and Sue Townsend". ("Independent"). "Thank heavens for Marina Lewycka whose "Various Pets Alive and Dead" made me laugh at least once in every chapter ...The warmth of its tone, its zest, its blend of quirky, humane comedy and intellectual seriousness make this a novel to treasure". ("New Statesman"). "Marina Lewycka's latest novel is wonderfully funny with moments of pure farce in the best tradition of social satire ...this inventive and witty book fizzes along from beginning to end".

Описание:
Georgie Sinclair's life is coming unstuck. Her husband's left her. Her son's obsessed with the End of the World.
And now her elderly neighbour Mrs Shapiro has decided they are related.
Or so the hospital informs her when Mrs Shapiro has an accident and names Georgie next of kin. This, however, is not a case of a quick ward visit: Mrs Shapiro has a large rickety house full of stinky cats that needs looking after that a pair of estate agents seem intent on swindling from her. Plus there are the 'Uselesses' trying to repair it (uselessly).
Then there's the social worker who wants to put her in a nursing home. Not to mention some letters that point to a mysterious, painful past.
As Georgie tries her best to put Mrs Shapiro's life back together somehow she must stop her own from falling apart...
