Marina Lewycka is of Ukrainian origin and was born in a refugee camp in Kiel, Germany, during World War II.
Her much-loved first novel, The Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian (2005), tells of the exploits of two feuding sisters trying to save their elderly father from a Ukrainian divorcee, Valentina. This book won the 2005 Saga Award for Wit, the 2005 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, and was shortlisted for the 2005 Orange Prize for Fiction.
Her two later books Two Caravans and We Are All Made of Glue have been equally well received.
