Gaft and Ostroumova. A Love Story

This book is about how a famous, widely beloved actor found his family happiness.

About what it means to love.
About loyalty, patience, and the hope that sometimes people who have reached the middle of earthly life so often lack.

A feeling of tenderness, delight, admiration—and… the desire to speak softly when you’re watching this incomparable family couple. God endowed them with everything—beauty, talent, luck. Valentin Gaft adores his wife. He himself admits that he always looks at her as if he sees her for the first time in life.

They searched for each other for a long time—too long and too hard to treat those precious minutes when they’re together lightly. He is People’s Artist of the RSFSR, a theater director, a poet and writer. She is People’s Artist of the Russian Federation, a laureate of the USSR State Prize. Two bright stars—anyone can learn from them how to love and be loved, how to become happy.

“…Valentin Gaft is different. He can be warm, tender, trembling. Or he can be злым, prickly, uncompromising. It seems like a huge happiness that in the second half of his life he met Olga Ostroumova and has finally found the long-awaited family happiness.”

Vitaly Vulf, writer, dramatist, theater scholar, host of the TV program “Silver Ball” (http://newtribuna.ru)
