I want to tell you about an amazing novel I just finished. I was organizing my bookshelves and came across this book I bought a long time ago based on reviews and the nomination for the Man Booker Prize. It was published in 2005 and it's called A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka. It's funny and poignant, with fascinating history of Ukraine, and names of cities and towns I never would have recognized when I first bought the book. You should definitely add it to your reading list!
It is so much more meaningful now that I have been following news about Ukraine since the invasion. Also, the book refers to the Holodomor, something they never taught me in World History in the 60s.
Thanks for the great update. I know that sounds generic but I really mean it. So good to know about your life plus Shepherd's growth and your plans for it too. I believe in it & I'm all in for this ride.
