The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fford is the first novel in a series of novels about detective Thursday Next. Set in Britain in the 80's, Fford has created a world where the barrier between literature and reality is bendable and it is possible to steal characters out of novels and poems, or even enter into them yourself.
You must completely suspend your disbelief to enjoy this story. Sometimes it worked for me and sometimes it didn't, but it's hard not to like the heroine of the story, Thursday Next, a SpecOps Literatech tracking down an evil villain hidden deep in the pages of Jane Eyre.
A fun and clever read, if you're up for a truly fantastic journey.
