Description
Anna Matveyeva is the author of the novels “Dyatlov Pass, or The Mystery of Nine,” “The Envious Feeling of Vera Stenina,” and “It’s!,” story collections “Hidden Rivers,” “Lolotta and Other Paris Stories,” “Katya Goes to Sochi,” as well as books “Citizens” and “Picture Girls.” A finalist of the “Big Book” and “National Bestseller” awards.
“Every Hundred Years” is a “novel with a diary,” a personal and very modern story told by two women. They begin keeping diaries as children: Ksenichka Levshina in 1893 in Poltava, and Ksana Lesovaya in 1980 in Sverdlovsk—and they continue their entries all their lives. But aren’t diaries written so someone might read them? As an adult, Ksana—a talented translator—constantly asks herself how honest one can be with a sheet of paper, and, just like in childhood, continues searching for traces of Ksenichka. It seems fate leads them along the same paths and persistently tries to bring them together. Only between them there are almost one hundred years…
"A diary is the highest degree of literary sincerity. It resembles walking a tightrope: one wrong step—and the reader’s trust is lost. Matveyeva’s novel (drumroll) consists of two diaries separated by time and space, connected—outside time and space. A wonderful book". (Yevgeny Vodolazkin)
