520    Great Britain circa 1985: time travel is routine, cloning 
       is a reality (dodas are the resurrected pet of choice), 
       and literature is taken very, very seriously. Based on an 
       imaginary world where time and reality bend in the most 
       convincing and original way since The Hitchhiker's Guide 
       to the Galaxy, The Eyre Affair is a delightful rabbit hole
       of a read: once you fall in you may never come back. 
       England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get 
       lost (literally) in Wordsworth poems, militant Baconians 
       roam freely spreading the gospel that Bacon, not 
       Shakespeare, penned those immortal works. And forging 
       Byronic verse is a punishable offense. This is all 
       business as usual for brainy, bookish (and heat-packing) 
       Thursday Next, a renowned Special Operative in literary 
       detection -- that is, until someone begins murdering 
       characters from works of literature. When this madman 
       plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Bronte's novel Thursday
       faces the challenge of her career. Aided and abetted by 
       characters that include her time-traveling father, an 
       executive of the all-powerful Goliath Corporation, and 
       Edward Rochester himself, Thursday must track down the 
       world's Third Most Wanted criminal and enter the novel 
       herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide. A 
       brilliantly outlandish and absorbing caper destined to 
       become a classic adventure tale, The Eyre Affair is an 
       irresistible thriller and the introduction to the 
       imagination of a most distinctive writer. In Jasper 
       Fforde's singular fictional universe no literary character
       is safe from crime. And for Special Operative Thursday 
       Next this is only the beginning...
