But who picks out strawberry these days? The Ukranians: Irina, just off the coach from Kievm and eager to improve her excellent English and find true love with a romantic Englishman; Andriy, the miner's son from the other Ukraine; the Poles: Bob Dylan fan, Tomasz (whose smelly trainers will soon punish those in the men's caravan); Yola, the petite, voluptuous gang mistress, and her religious niece Marta, who findswild mashrooms to cook with the sliced loaf; then there is Vitaly, king of the new mobilfon world of the shiny new Easter Europe; two chinese girls; Emanuel, the round-eyed eighteen-years old from Malawi, come to England to look for his sister. And although he can't exactly help pick strawberries, there's also a Dog... But these are a group of leading dangerous lives _ exploitative employers, British regulations and gang masters with guns will all threaten their existance as they take to the caravan road until each of them peels of find their destiny.
