The Auction of Magical Junk

It is hardly worth telling a mole how wonderful it is to sunbathe. Just like that, people cannot always understand someone else's pain. Stepanida Kozlova's friend Asya Bolotova is facing a slew of family misfortunes: first, her father-in-law suffers a... stroke, then her mother-in-law's sister dies of pneumonia, and six months later, their niece. It is very sad, such things happen in life. But when Asya's husband Nikolai ends up in the hospital with the same diagnosis, she falls into a real hysteria. The woman organizes a complete disinfection of the entire house and begs Stepa to help her. There is clearly something fishy going on! While investigating the reasons behind the accumulated tragedies, Kozlova comes across a certain Lola, who had a scandalous affair with Nikolai. And... she also passed away from pneumonia. What to do? How to tell a friend about the adultery? Should she stop digging into this matter? But suddenly, Stepa realizes: all these deaths are connected, and there is much more behind them than just plain bad luck...

«Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I do not know any other writer who works as much as she does. I have great respect for her as a model of literary diligence. Women need psychological support, and they receive it from Dontsova. I myself read several of Dontsova's novels in my time. She is read by very different people. Busy businesswomen looking to turn their minds off for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up children.» — Galina Yuzefofich, literary critic.
