Anna Voinova’s All Time
Favorite Books
#3 ‘Uncle Cleans Up’
In third place we have a lovely, crazy, and imaginative children’s book that Anna describes as an
“undervalued masterpiece”. Her husband knew
about Anna’s childhood fascination with ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, illustrated by the
same artist, and so decided to introduce his wife
to the misadventures of Uncle and his friends. Anna’s significant other actually read the book out
loud to her - talk about old fashioned romance!
#2 ‘Master and Margarita’
As a true Russian, Anna couldn’t neglect the
classics of her country. ‘Master and Margarita’ is a captivating book about love and
hate. However, it is nowhere near as heavy
as the work of Dostoevsky or Tolstoy. If you
want to have a look at Russian literature
from a new angle, this is the read for you.
#1 ‘D.V.’
Anna’s favorite book is ‘D.V’ – the autobiography by Diana Vreeland, one of the most famous
fashion editors of our time. Anna is inspired by
her self-made beauty, great charisma, and extremely vivid imagination. While reading you’ll
get an insight into the life of a person who
knew how to dream big and managed to create “an absolutely magical life of her own”.
