1. отель мир
When a young chambermaid falls from a city hotel's window, the aftermath is rendered through a chorus of voices — the woman's ghost, relatives, workers and strangers whose lives are touched by the event — whose fragmented, shifting perspectives trace the ripple effects of a sudden death. Blending lyrical experimentation with social critique, the book probes grief, empathy, class and the precariousness of contemporary urban life, interrogating how memory, connection and indifference shape the space between living and dead.

2. Осень
A lyrical, timely novel that follows the intimate bond between a young woman and her elderly neighbor as they move between past and present, using art, memory and close observation to probe personal histories and the changing face of contemporary Britain; spare, playful prose links private moments to wider political shifts—most notably the shockwaves of Brexit—while exploring aging, belonging and the ways language and attention can resist loss.
