De Groote Oorlog
Despite king Albert I's desperate efforts to keep out of the looming Great War, neutral Belgium was run-over by the Germans on the way to France, except the Yser corner at sea, which was flooded, created the least comfortable trenches for four years, but at least the Belgian troops were spared senseless mass wave attacks on enemy lines. The 'king-knight' achieve popularity, and after the German capitulation spear-headed some social reforms, especially the general single vote for men, while the scarcity of labor finally allowed better conditions from the reconstruction, even paid holidays and restricting working hours. Hobbies became popular, and u-youth movements, part of the fertile ground for the rise the 1930s of right-wing movements ready to side with Fascism in World War II, spurred by the Great Depression after the 1929 stock crash caused world economy to go in a downward spiral with mass unemployment.

Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
