Books like The Hidden Family by Charles Stross
Miriam, a hip tech journalist from Boston, discovers her alternate world relatives in The Family Trade and with them an elite identity she didn't know was hers. Now, in order to avoid a slippery slope down to an unmarked grave, Miriam, known as Lady Helge to the Family, starts applying modern business practices and scientific knowledge to a trade dominated by mercantilists. The saga of The Family Trade, which has been turned into a trilogy, is Charles Stross's most ambitious work yet, and the protagonist's journey of self-discovery and identity is both intriguing and thought-provoking.
