Synopsis
In an alternate 1985, where the Crimean War still rages 130-odd years later, Thursday Next works for a special operations unit that prevents criminals from damaging the world of literature. Though normally a fairly low-stress job, it heats up for Thursday when one of the three most evil villains in the world is accused of permanently altering the Charles Dickens classic MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT. And as if that weren't enough, Thursday has more than enough work ahead of her when the scoundrel sets his dastardly sights on the world's most beloved book, JANE EYRE.

Industry Reviews
"Dark, funny, complex, and inventive, THE EYRE AFFAIR is a breath of fresh air and easily one of the strongest debuts in years."
Locus - Jonathan Strahan (08/20/2001)
"THE EYRE AFFAIR is mostly a collection of jokes, conceits and puzzles. It's smart, frisky and sheer catnip for former English majors....And some of the jokes are clever indeed."
Salon - Laura Miller (01/24/2002)
"This is the oddest combination of genres: a literary thriller/comedy/romance/sci-fi/war novel. Above all, it's a funny book, especially for anyone with any kind of literary background (but you don't have to be an expert; you don't even have to have read JANE EYRE)....The book is paced at the speed of light, and if some of the secondary plot lines seem a little wobbly, well, it really doesn't matter; it's all such good fun. And let's be honest - who among us wouldn't love the chance to literally step into the fictional world of our favorite book?"
Literal Mind - Amy C. Rea
