A quirky, clever novel based on an alternate universe (Great Britain circa 1985) where time travel is routine, reality bends in most original ways and literary characters can and do leave the pages of books. In this imaginary world where one can literally get lost in a poem, literature is taken very, very seriously. This is the first book in an inventive and entertaining series where Thursday Next, literary detective, must hunt the villain who is killing characters in literary works and who kidnaps Emily Bronte from her novel.
