'Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a glamorous blonde Ukrainian divorcée. He was eighty-four and she was thirty-six . . .'
Voluptuous gold-digger Valentina loves green satin underwear, boil-in-the-bag cooking and, she insists, the émigré father of sisters Vera and Nadezhda. Putting aside a lifetime's feuding, the sisters will do anything to protect their father. Unfortunately for them, he doesn't want to be saved. Worse, the sisters' battle to keep their father from Valentina's clutches unearths troubling family secrets that reach back fifty years into Europe's dark history . . .
'Delightful, funny, touching' Spectator
