$4.95
New softcover, very light yellow mark at the foot of the first few pages, pages are otherwise unmarked.
310 pages, Penguin Books Ltd., 2008. The photograph forms part of the description.
A field of strawberries in Kent, and sitting in it are two caravans - one for the men and one for the women. The residents are from all over: miner's son Andriy is from the old Ukraine, while sexy young Irina is from the new: they each other warily. There are the Poles, Tomasz and Yola; two Chinese girls; and Emmanuel from Malawi. They're all here to pick strawberries in England's green and pleasant land. But these days England's not so pleasant for immigrants. Not with Russian gangster-wannabes like Vulk, who's taken a shine to Irina and thinks kidnapping is a wooing strategy. And so Andriy - who really doesn't fancy Irina, honest - must set off in search of that girl he's not in love with.
All items are cleaned with a disinfectant solution for your protection. Can be picked up from Hillarys (any time) or Nollamara (school hours), or will post. To see all my current listings, please click on my name Riverdancer.
