The seventh book includes stories and novellas created by Dina Rubina in 2006–2010. The writer's style has changed: increasingly, fact, document, direct evidence are replacing fiction. A stunning picture of the life of a gypsy great-grandmother is recreated by a distant relative; the tragic story of Adam and Miriam is told by a participant in the events; the dramatic family story of the grandfather and Laima is described by the granddaughter... The narrator, who sometimes displaces the author, brings authenticity and authenticity to the prose. The choir of voices in this book is a requiem for the untimely departed, whose lives were crushed by the fiery wheel of time, for those killed and disappeared from the face of the earth.
