1. Перекрестки
In 1971 a Midwestern suburban family centered on a Protestant church faces a weekend of crises that expose long‑buried desires, betrayals and questions of conscience: a pastor contends with temptation and a faltering marriage, his wife navigates her own resentments and longings, and their children confront coming‑of‑age confusions and loyalties, forcing each to make choices that reveal the moral complexity of love, faith and responsibility in a changing America.

2. Поправки
An intimate, darkly comic portrait of a Midwestern family whose attempt to gather one last time exposes long-brewing resentments, personal failures, and the economic and emotional upheavals of late-20th-century America; through shifting viewpoints of an ailing patriarch, his controlling wife, and their three grown children—each grappling with marital breakdown, career disappointment, addiction, and self-deception—the novel traces how private ambitions and cultural change corrode trust and force painful reckonings, blending sharp satire with wrenching realism.
