The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next)
4 journalers for this copy...
"Meet Thursday Next, literary detective without equal, fear or boyfriend.
There is another 1985, where London's criminal gangs have moved into the lucrative literary market, and Thursday Next is on the trail of the new crime wave's Mr Big.
Acheron Hades has been kidnapping characters from works of fiction and holding them to ransom. Jane Eyre is gone. Missing.
Thursday sets out to find a way into the book to repair the damage. But solving crimes against literature isn't easy when you also have to find time to halt the Crimean War, persuade the man you love to marry you, and figure out who really wrote Shakespeare's plays.
Perhaps today just isn't going to be Thursday's day. Join her on a truly breathtaking adventure, and find out for yourself. Fiction will never be the same again."

Another really enjoyable book from Fforde. I love the way he writes, and how he makes such fantasy and imagination seem so realistic and makes you think it could actually happen. Many twists and turns to keep the reader interested! Looking forward to reading his other stories.
