The protagonist of the new novel "The Gift of Speech" Ilya B. Schramm at the age of 16 finds a father, a famous TV presenter, as well as a brother-in-law, a woman beloved for life and a Family: the old Moscow clan of the Soviet aristocracy. Here bohemian journalists, KGB officers and beautiful women have witty conversations, they are ironic and cynical, brilliantly erudite and multilingual, unafraid of free-thinking and frontrunning. Each has a personal set of skeletons from the past, in addition to their shared sins - and some of the secrets lead back to the thirties and even pre-revolutionary years...
"We tell each other stories for the same reason that makes us give ourselves headlong to love: to hear the response, to hear the other - and thus become one with them. We give love by unaccountably following the ancient rule: do ut des - I give that you may give. This is why God gave us the gift of speech. This is why dumbness is worse than blindness. The Spirit gives us birth, but the Letter gives us life.
