The Lubetkin Legacy

Autor Marina Lewycka
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2016
'Lively . . . a joy to read' - The Times
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 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.
A place rich in language - whether it's Romanian, Ukrainian, Russian, Swahili or buxom housing officers talking managementese.
A place where husbands go absent without leave and councillors sacrifice cherry orchards at the altar of new builds.
Marina Lewycka is back in this hilarious, farcical, tender novel of modern issues and manners.

Recenzii

Lively . . . a joy to read
Insightful, witty and engaging, painting a picture of modern Britain that will be at once recognizable and enlightening.
Entertaining and timely
Laugh-out-loud . . . [an] appealing, entertaining social comedy.
Warmth, kindness and inclusivity lie at the core of all Lewycka's books, and are the keys to her popularity. [In The Lubetkin Legacy] she offers a heartfelt message about the vital importance of tolerance and community.
Hilarious . . . strong characters, lively pace and general feelgood tone . . . Don't leave it too long before treating yourself to this satisfying, easy read.
Loved it to bits - it's so big-hearted, filled with such great characters and such cracking jokes, and, underneath it all, so very angry about the state of Britain today.
If I could write something a tenth as funny as this I would die happy.
