Nikolai, an 86-year-old retired Ukrainian engineer and tractor historian in Peterborough, has fallen in love with 36-year-old Valentina. His two daughters, Vera and Nadezhda, estranged since their mother's death, unite in terror to defend their father and what's left of his pension. But is Valentina a refugee seeking better opportunities, or a fake visa applicant trying to con a frail old man? As she grows closer to her sister, uncovering a family history she was previously shielded from, Nadezhda finally becomes aware of the animosity between Vera and her father. Award-winning author Tanika Gupta has crafted a brilliant retelling of this dark family comedy, adapted for the stage by Marina Lewicka. The novel explores the hopes and hardships of immigrants, and how past experiences can shape families and relationships.
