Ludmila's Broken English by DBC Pierre (English) Paperback Book

Description: Ludmila's Broken English by DBC Pierre The outrageously funny new novel from the Booker-winning author of Vernon God Little. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description DBC Pierres second novel charts the unlikely meeting between East and West that follows Ludmila Derevs appearance on a Russian brides website. Determined to save her family from starvation in the face of marauding Gnez troops, Ludmilas journey into the world and womanhood is an odyssey of sour wit, even sourer vodka, and a Soviet tractor probably running on goats piss. Thousands of miles to the West, the Heath twins are separated after 33 years conjoined at the abdomen. Released for the first time from an institution rumoured to have been founded for an illegitimate child of Charles II, they are suddenly plunged into a round-the-clock world churning with opportunity, rowdy with the chatter of freedom, democracy, self-empowerment and sex. A wild and raucous picaresque dripping with flavours of British bacon and nasty Russian vodka, Ludmilas Broken English is a tale of tango-ing twins on a journey into the unknown. A ride so outrageously improbable it just may happen, DBC Pierres second novel confirms his place in the ranks of todays most original storytellers.
