Novel charting the unlikely meeting between East and West that follows Ludmila Derev's appearance on a Russian brides website. Determined to save her family from marauding Gnez troops,Ludmila's journey into the world of womanhood is an odyssey of sour wit,even sourer vodka, and a Soviet tractor probably running on goat's piss. Thousands of miles to the West,the Heath twins are separated after thirty-three years conjoined at the abdomen.Released for the firt 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 the flavours of British bacon and nasty Russian vodka,'Ludmila's Broken English' is a tale of tangoing twins on a journey into the unknown.A ride so outrageously improbable it just may happen,DBC Pierre's 2nd novel confirms his place in the ranks of today's most original storytellers.
