    <body><![CDATA[What a find!  I bought this book, because I found it at an outlet for a couple of dollars and the author is Ukrainian.  And what I got is an absolute gem.  So witty, it's a fun and easy read.  But the topic, of migrant Eastern European workers in England, is heavy with pathos and an array of unique ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71957087">more...</a>]]></body>
