Because only Lalitha knows the dark secrets upon which her stepmother, Lady Studley, has built a new life for herself and her daughter.

Sophie sends Lalitha to meet Lord Rothwyn at the Church to tell him that he is being jilted.

  With forty knocking on my door, it feels like my life is falling apart, especially after my recent divorce. 
  Worse, I'm staring down an important deadline while tackling the worst writer’s block of my career. I need a change, and fast, so I put New York City in my rearview mirror and head north to the picturesque small town of Gossamer Falls. Two weeks of peace and quiet—just what I need to get out of my head and finish this book. 
  I’m expecting to spend my days staring at my laptop and exploring the tourist town, but I’m wholly unprepared for the hotel’s owner—sexy, sweet, charming Adam Shephard. 
  I should be focused on my overdue manuscript, not Adam’s sinful eyes and muscled arms. Or how his wavy hair falls across his forehead. Or the way his deep voice makes me feel things I haven’t felt in a very long time—which shouldn't matter to me, because Adam is not rebound material. He's sworn off love, and dating. 
  He's a distraction I cannot afford to indulge in. 
  But when I visit the allegedly magical falls, things start to happen. Things like Adam kissing the absolute daylights out of me and waking up something I thought my divorce had permanently smothered. 
  After two weeks in this sleepy little town, I know I’m in trouble. I can’t get enough of Adam Shephard—his laugh, his body, his gloriously dirty mouth. 
  But my life is elsewhere, and I don’t belong in Gossamer Falls. Even if it’s exactly where my heart wants to stay.

  Mississippi, 1927. The groanings are coming. 
   
  No town is perfect, but East Cobb comes close. It's a wealthy all-Black Free Town―untouched by white oppression―where ambitious Thea Elliot and her husband plan to make good on their big dreams. Little do they know that the idyllic town teems with ghoulish, walking nightmares . . . that only the women can see. 
   
  Marah knows the groanings well. She is one of the carriers―women with the ability to pull traumatic memories from men. Populated by men entirely freed of their pain, East Cobb has flourished, even as the remnants of their memories haunt the town's women. When an unexpected death drives Marah to discover more about her own power, Thea's and Marah's worlds collide. The sisters must confront the rotten core at the heart of East Cobb's prosperity and choose what―and who―will survive the reckoning. 
   
  A gripping blend of historical fiction and Southern gothic psychological horror, Our Sister's Keeper is a fierce exploration of Black sisterhood, rage, and resistance.

  Shifting Accommodation  is a short humorous story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theatrical personage Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891 - 1940).
  From the Diary of an ingenious comrade Polosukhin:
  November 21.
  Well, Moscow… What a city… Oh, I will tell 
  you now. There are no available apartments here. 
  Absolutely no vacant flats! I even had to send a 
  telegram to my wife and tell her to stay home and wait 
  for a while. I slept three nights in the bathtub at 
  Karabuev's apartment. Well, what can I say, not that 
  bad as it may seem, pretty comfortable, I would say, 
  just water dripping from time to time. Then I slept two 
  nights on a gas stove at Shchuevsky's apartment. In 
  Yelabuga, my hometown, people say that this stove is a 
  very convenient thing. Hell no, I say! Some screws are 
  sticking in here and there, and the cookmaid is 
  grumbling, obviously not happy about my sleeping 
  there...
  December 23.
  I'm done, I'm going back to Yelabuga…
