Abstract "The Life of typical Princesses of Niederzaksen", Galina Matveeva two sisters, Alena and Raya, have a long tradition of meeting at the airport and having breakfast together. The eldest is a psychiatrist who no longer believes in love. The younger one, on the contrary, believed too much. Her marriage is far from fabulous, although the woman is already pregnant with her second child. Alena's random neighbor on the plane keeps babbling and prevents her from collecting broken heart pieces. And while the plane is delayed, Raya tells her daughter a story about a princess who was married to the emperor. She will have to come up with the end of the fairy tale on the go, under the screams of her husband and the tears of her daughter. Both princess sisters must make their own choice — dare to trust or, conversely, finally believe in themselves. Galina Matveeva is a writer and poet. Author of the novels "almost" (2018), "Female Doctor" (2019), "the King's dream" (2023), "the key of salt" (2024) and two poetry books for children. Galina Matveeva is a contemporary Ukrainian writer known for her sincere and deep prose. Her new novel, The Life of typical Princesses of Niedersaksen, continues the theme of women's stories that are both everyday and special. This is a book about two sisters – Alena and Raya, who, it would seem, Live an ordinary life, but each of them leads their own inner struggle, looking for support, love and themselves. In the center of events – meeting the sisters at the airport. The eldest, Alena, a psychiatrist, has long lost faith in feelings. The youngest, Raya, on the contrary, plunged too deep into them, finding herself in a difficult marriage. A delayed plane, a casual conversation, a fairy tale about a princess that Raya tells her daughter – all this gradually reveals their inner world. The fairy-tale story in the novel becomes a reflection of reality, showing how words and fictional plots sometimes help to find answers that are missing in life. This is a book about love and its absence, about fatigue, motherhood, about the need to accept your own mistakes and allow yourself to be imperfect. Matveeva speaks quietly, but for sure – her heroines get to know themselves not through drama, but through simple situations that are familiar to everyone. The novel combines everyday life and barely perceptible fabulousness, creating a sense of sincere, honest storytelling.
