Based on reading the REVIEW at MostlyFiction.com, answer the following question:

What is the book STRAWBERRY FIELDS about?
Something to do with the Beatles
An Octogenarian and a Gold-Digger (Check out THE HISTORY OF TRACTORS IN UKRANIAN!)
About a Salvation Army Children's Home
Follows the fortunes and misfortunes of several migrant workers in England

Which country are the main characters, Irina and Andrij, from?
Ukraine
Malawi
Poland
China

Based in the INTERVIEW, why does the author use humor to cover some very serious issues?
Because immigrants are funny people.
It isn't funny, broken english just makes it seem funny.
It's a characteristic of the human condition. We survive hardship and horror by joking about it.
Humour sells better than dissertations on the human condition.

Why do we recommend STRAWBERRY FIELDS?
It’s part romance, part adventure story, but the sum total is a fantastic read.
It's a rare novel of social conscience with no heavy-handed manipulation or preachiness or bashing.
It’s a gracious acceptance of the foibles of human nature.
The author manages to create and maintain humor in the dire conditions that face her characters.
All of the above.
