His wife, Frouma, came from a family ravaged by the Great Terror yet somehow making their way in Soviet society • In the centenary of the Russian Revolution, What You Did Not Tell recounts a brand of socialism erased from memory - humanistic, impassioned, and broad-ranging in its sympathies

Только вот они сообщают о том, что с ними случилось, подозрительно много деталей • Помочь Эбигейл могут лишь её новый друг Саймон, осознание того, что магия реальна, и стайка говорящих лис, возомнивших себя шпионами
