Description
Thursday Next is a literary detective without equal, fear, or boyfriend. In this surreal version of Great Britain, time travel and cloning are routine, and literature is taken very seriously. When characters from works of literature start being kidnapped, Thursday must track down the villain and enter a novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide. In "The Eyre Affair", Thursday Next must navigate a world where an aunt can get lost in a poem, militant Baconians heckle performances of Hamlet, and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. As she delves into the mystery, Thursday enters a novel herself, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. This first novel in the renowned series combines elements of Monty Python, Harry Potter, Stephen Hawking, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, creating a literary wonderland that recalls Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker series and the works of Lewis Carroll.
