What this book is about

Thursday Next is a literary detective in an alternate 1985 Britain where literature is taken very seriously and the original manuscript of Jane Eyre has been stolen by the villain Acheron Hades. To recover it, she must enter the book itself — joining the narrative of the Brontë novel. Witty, inventive, and irresistible for book lovers.
