The girl receives the tiny copies of things with interest but notices that the master is all too familiar with the setting of the house, which he has not been in, and with its inhabitants. Not only that, he knows very well the secrets with which the mansion is packed to the brim.
Mrs. Wilson, 2018

Only why doesn’t John, an outsider from the wilderness beyond the barrier, like all this?
Belgravia, 2020
1815. British aristocrats have gathered for a ball given by the Duchess of Richmond. Into this glittering company stumbled the common merchant Trenchard and his daughter and wife. The offspring of a wealthy aristocratic family, Edmund Bellasis, who was in love with Sophia Trenchard, had asked for their invitation. The guests were to dance and enjoy themselves, showing the rogue Napoleon that the English were not afraid of the French army on their doorstep.
Suddenly the evening ended early with a messenger, and the officers left the ladies and went to the battle of Waterloo. Many of these young men did not return from the battlefield, but the fallen Edmund Bellasis had done enough in his short life that 26 years later interesting secrets came to light.
The Dead Lands, 2020
New Zealand. The Maori warrior Waka Nuku Rau has been a terrible man all his life because he has been killed for no reason, robbed, and never regretted it one bit. After his own death, however, he learned he could not go to the decent dead until he came back to life and atoned for his sins. On Earth now there is just cause for a feat: the boundary separating the realm of the living and the dead has been breached and zombies are climbing in to kill people.
Mrs. America, 2020
The United States, the 1970s. Feminists demand an equal rights amendment to the Constitution. Campaign offices buzz and presidential candidates are forced to think seriously about, for example, whether or not to support women’s right to abortion.
Ladies advocating conservative ideals are stepping up. Mrs. Phyllis Schlafly is organizing a campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment, rallying women who fear losing the privileges of being homemakers and mothers. Phyllis is a serious opponent: she is intelligent, educated, and has powerful charisma.
Good Omens, 2019

The Secrets She Keeps, 2020
On her blog, Megan looks like a well-to-do woman, a happy mother of two who is expecting a new baby. In reality, it’s not like that: she and her husband have long had a chilly relationship, the third pregnancy is accidental and not at all because the family has serious financial difficulties, and it would actually be nice if the homemaker blogger went to work. Lonely and unhappy fan Megan Agatha does not know about all this, so she is terribly jealous of the “star”. Both have a lot of secrets behind them, which seriously complicate life.
