Great Britain circa 1985: time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodas are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in Wordsworth poems, militant Baconians roam freely spreading the gospel that Bacon, not Shakespeare, penned those immortal works. And forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. This is all business as usual for brainy, bookish (and heat-packing) Thursday Next, a renowned Special Operative in literary detection -- that is, until someone begins murdering characters from works of literature. When this madman plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Bronte's novel, Thursday faces the challenge of her career. Aided and abetted by characters that include her time-traveling father, an executive of the all-powerful Goliath Corporation, and Edward Rochester himself, Thursday must track down the world's Third Most Wanted criminal and enter the novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide.

Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed, is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible? Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan. But whose? and why?
En el mundo de Thursday Next la literatura es como una religión. Tras recuperar la integridad de Jane Eyre y vencer al malvado Acheron Hades, los problemas continúan para la detective literaria Thursday Next: los cambios en el argumento de Jane Eyre hacen que Jurisficción la persiga por haber alterado un clásico. Thursday, ahora embarazada (de un esposo que ha sido «retrosustraído» y no existe...), se esconde en la Gran Biblioteca (un piso por cada letra del alfabeto), cuyo sótano más profundo es, precisamente, el Pozo de las Tramas Perdidas, el sorprendente lugar donde se crea toda la ficción. Escondida en una mala novela, Caversham Heights, Thursday ayudará a la definitiva deconstrucción de la ficción narrativa. La aventura más loca y surrealista está servida.

However, Thursday faces even greater challenges: Sherlock Holmes is murdered at the Rheinback Falls, halting his series, and shortly after, Miss Havisham dies in a car accident, ending her narrative. When Thursday receives a death threat meant for her written self, she uncovers a serial killer wreaking havoc in the Bookworld. Adding to her troubles, the Goliath Corporation is attempting to deregulate book travel. To confront these escalating dangers, Thursday must journey to the outer limits of narrative possibilities. Filled with clever wordplay, quirky subplots, and suspense, her return promises to delight both devoted fans and critics who have celebrated Fforde's unique literary universe since the beginning.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Ex-detective Thursday Next faces her trickiest assignment yet in the seventh novel of this renowned series, “[a] bibliophile’s Wonderland” (The Plain Dealer). “It’s safe to say that if you enjoy that particularly British, Douglas Adams–style absurd delivery of wry observations, you’ll get a kick out of [The Woman Who Died a Lot].”—New York Journal of Books Thursday Next, the Bookworld’s leading enforcement officer, has been forced into semiretirement following an assassination attempt. When her former SpecOps division is reinstated, she assumes she’s the obvious choice to lead the Literary Detectives. Sadly, our banged-up heroine is no spring chicken, and her old boss has a cushier job in mind: Chief Librarian of the Swindon All-You-Can-Eat-at-Fatso’s Drink Not Included Library. But where Thursday goes, trouble follows. As the new Chief Librarian faces 100 percent budget cuts and trouble from the ever-evil Jack Schitt, the Next children face their own career hiccups—and possible nonexistence. Don’t miss any of Jasper Fforde’s delightfully entertaining Thursday Next novels: THE EYRE AFFAIR • LOST IN A GOOD BOOK • THE WELL OF LOST PLOTS • SOMETHING ROTTEN • FIRST AMONG SEQUELS • ONE OF OUR THURSDAYS IS MISSING • THE WOMAN WHO DIED A LOT
