| Sumario: | Throughout their long marriage, the poets Ravil Bukharaev and Lydia Grigorieva had written in separate rooms in their home. In this deeply felt and poetic memoir, Ravil writes to Lydia to explain at last things left unsaid in their great love for each other. With immense honesty and insight, he explores how their journey together has been shaped by his profound Muslim beliefs and his lifelong search for what is authentic and true. Along the way, he creates beautiful and moving vignettes of eight very different people struggling to find meaning in their life, from old Elizaveta Osipovna, alone in her Moscow flat, to proud Arzhana, coping with a tough life in the Altai mountains. The honesty and transparency informing this epistolary novel-essay is at times both stunning and stupendous. In the author’s own words, here is ‘an attempt by a man to have it out with his loved one, which is all the more difficult in view of the most vital and crucial condition of such an exchange – complete and total sincerity’. |
