![]() ![]() ![]() Pawel and Kaja’s inclusion in Hold Tight continues his story and also offers a few answers to The Woods’ elliptical ending. His teenage daughter Kaja is the girlfriend of the boy who goes missing in Hold Tight’s first episode. Pawel is adapted from the original US character of Paul Copeland and appears in Hold Tight as a member of the supporting cast. Netflix’s two Polish Harlan Coben series – 2020’s The Woods and 2022’s Hold Tight, adapted from the 20 novels of the same names – both feature the character of Pawel Kopinski (Grzegorz Damiecki), the lead in The Woods. ![]() The plots are standalone and aside from the odd cameo, the characters don’t as a rule cross over from one story to the next. Though Harlan Coben thrillers generally take place in the same recognisably middle class world of Range Rovers, gated communities and marble kitchen islands, his inter-connected Myron Bolitar series excluded, they’re not set in a shared fictional universe. Warning: contains spoilers for Harlan Coben’s The Woods on Netflix. ![]()

In the case of the hard-to-obtain poems, the volume includes transcriptions of the complete Italian texts with facing translations. King and Albert Rabil, Jr., dedicated to the writings of Renaissance proto-feminists, this volume makes fifteen letters and all the poems of Veronica Franco (1546-91) accessible to modern readers and students of women's history via English translation. ![]() 300.Īnother in the fine series, edited by Margaret L. ![]() ![]() The obvious choice is Erika’s best friend, Clementine Hart.
