Any other thoughts, comments or questions on the first section?

It's a great set-up, and brings together many different areas - Armi Christi, Polish history (had no idea it was wiped off the map of Europe for a time!), and Bruges. The White Lady sounds delish!

>2 threadnsong: If you’ve not read it I would recommend reading The White Lady by Jacqueline Winspear, written in 2023.

This is the link to my review of it.

>3 Andrew-theQM: Thank you for the link 😁

I recently "got into" the Maisie Dobbs series, and while I would love to read them all in one sitting, they are as rich as The White Lady is described. Besides, once I finish them, the series will be over (tho some could argue I can go back and re-read them!).

>9 threadnsong: I feel the same, some of my best series I like to read slowly so I always have more to look forward to.
