The Eyre Affair: A Thursday Next Novel
- Product Description from Wikipedia
The first installment in Jasper Ffordeâ‚¬s New York Times bestselling series of Thursday Next novels introduces literary detective Thursday Next and her alternate reality of literature-obsessed Englandâ‚¬"from the author of Early Riser

Fans of Douglas Adams and P. G. Wodehouse will love visiting Jasper Fforde's Great Britain, circa 1985, when time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously: itâ‚¬s a bibliophileâ‚¬s dream. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of BrontÂ«'s novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career. Fforde's ingenious fantasyâ‚¬"enhanced by a Web site that re-creates the world of the novelâ‚¬"unites intrigue with English literature in a delightfully witty mix.
