Welcome to Marina Lewycka’s official website
This is where you can find out about me and my writing, and various other interesting things you never knew you wanted to know. One day, when I’ve mastered the technology, you may be able to leave comments, donate to charity, buy train tickets, and much more. In the meantime, here’s a bit about me.

Marina Lewycka was born in a refugee camp in Germany in 1946 and moved to England with her family when she was about a year old. She spent most of her life since then trying to become a writer, and finally suceeded in 2005 with A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian which went on to sell more than a million copies in the UK alone. This was followed by Two Caravans in March 2007 and We Are All Made of Glue in July 2009.
She lives in Sheffield, Yorkshire, and works part time at Sheffield Hallam University.
