Classic & Older Gothic
by Jasper Fforde · Thursday Next series
In an alternate 1985 Britain where literature is deadly serious, time travel is routine, and dodos are common pets, literary detective Thursday Next must solve the kidnapping of Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontë's novel. Fforde's wildly inventive world blends metafiction, literary criticism, and absurdist humor into a unique genre-bending romp. A love letter to books that rewrites the rules of storytelling.
