About this listen

A beautiful summer's evening in a Kent field and around their two caravans a group of strawberry pickers celebrates a birthday. But what lies behind the buy-one-get-one-free offers at your supermarket and who picks our strawberries? The Ukrainians: Irina, just off the coach from Kiev, and Andriy, the miner's son from the other Ukraine; the Poles: Tomasz and Yola; two Chinese girls; Emanuel, the round-eyed eighteen-year-old from Malawi. And although he can't pick strawberries, there's also the Dog… Hilarious, gritty, moving and slapstick, Two Caravans has all the ingredients that made A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian so successful.

Entertaining story with some reality grit (exploited migrant workers ; mass chook farms…).

Good story telling with excellent narrator

The characters hooked me; I needed to know what happened to each of them. The love stories/ the violence/ the insights into migrant traunazzz and all relieved by humour.
