From the back:
"Welcome to a surreal version of Great Britain, circa 1985, where time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos 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 a Wordsworth poem, militant Baconians heckle performances of Hamlet, and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offence. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection, until someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature. When Jane Eyre is plucked from the pages of Bronte's novel, Thursday must track down the villian and enter the novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide.

This book is an easy, fun read. It has lots of literary references, but you don't have to have read all the classics to be in on the fun. Interesting story line. Overall, I recommend it. On to the next in the Thursday Next series...
