Anna Matveeva is the author of the novels "Dyatlov Pass, or the Mystery of the Nine", "There is!" and "Every Hundred Years", short story collections "Lolotte and Other Parisian Stories", "Hidden Rivers", "Katya Goes to Sochi", as well as the books "City People" and "Picture Girls". The novel The Enviable Feeling of Vera Stenina tells the story of female friendship-hostility. Vera, an art historian, a single mother, is constantly jealous of her friend Yulka. Yulka is always lucky, and she is not jealous of anyone, and could - the same Vera, because she has a unique gift - in a special way to feel the painting: talking to portraits, feel the scent of painted flowers and hear the music played by the artists depicted in the paintings ... The novel is multilayered: the anatomy of envy, the connection of Western European tradition with Russian mentality, a light detective accent and - in full voice - a hymn to art and beauty.
