The protagonist of the new novel The Gift of Speech, Ilya B. Shramm, at the age of 16, finds a father, a famous TV presenter, as well as a half-brother, a woman beloved for life and a Family: an 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 speak several languages, they are not afraid of free thinking and opposition. Each of them, in addition to common sins, has a personal set of skeletons from the past - and some secrets lead to the thirties and even pre-revolutionary years ...
“We tell each other stories for the same reason that makes us headlong into love: to hear a response, to hear the other - and thus become one with him. We give love, implicitly following the ancient rule: do ut des - I give so that you give. It is for this reason that the Lord gave us the gift of speech. That is why dumbness is more terrible than blindness. We are born by the Spirit, but life is given to us by the Letter.
