But their campaign to oust Valentina unearths family secrets, uncovers fifty years of European and Ukrainian history, and sends them back to roots they'd much rather forget . . .

Book 75: A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka.

Valentina. With her proclivity for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine, she outmanoeuvres the sisters at every turn.

Brutal and beautiful in equal measure, Elmet is a compelling portrayal of a family living on the fringes of contemporary society, as well as a gripping exploration of the disturbing actions people are capable of when pushed to their limits.

This sounds really interesting (read the full synopsis elsewhere!), and very different to the previous book. I’m looking forward to it!

Book 73: The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo

TO BE DISCUSSED 29th March 2023, 7:30pm

@StationHouseDHM

[SHBookClubDHM @SHBookClubDHM]

“Captivating & lushly written, The Night Tiger explores the rich world of servants & masters, ancient superstition & modern ambition, sibling rivalry and unexpected love. Woven through with Chinese folklore & a tantalizing mystery, this is a page-turner of the highest order.”

[SHBookClubDHM @SHBookClubDHM]
