Synopsis
The newest tour de force starring Thursday Next in the New York Times bestselling series
The Bookworld’s leading enforcement officer, Thursday Next, has been forced into a semiretirement following an assassination attempt, returning home to Swindon and her family to recuperate.
But Thursday’s children have problems that demand she become a mother of invention: Friday’s career struggles in the Chronoguard, where he is relegated to a might-have-been; Tuesday’s trouble perfecting the Anti-Smote shield, needed in time to thwart an angry Deity’s promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth; and the issue of Thursday’s third child, Jenny, who doesn’t exist except as a confusing and disturbing memory.
With Goliath attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, and a call from the Bookworld to hunt down Pagerunners who have jumped into the Realworld, Thursday’s convalescence is going to be anything but restful as the week ahead promises to be one of the Next family’s oddest.

Review
Praise for Jasper Fforde (:)
'Reading a Fforde novel feels like taking off on a magic carpet, only to be picked up by another and another and taken on new flights of fantasy . . . When the plot is thundering along, peppered with jokes, lively dialogue and silly names . . . you just sit back and enjoy the ride.' (Scotsman)
'Jam packed with ingeniously witty ideas' (SFX.co.uk)
A riot of puns, in-jokes and literary allusions that Fforde carries off with aplomb (Daily Mail)
'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' (Herald)
'Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure.' (Sunday Telegraph)
Parallel-universe larks with surreal heroine Thursday Next, trying to get some down time in Swindon. Fat chance (Mail on Sunday Live Magazine)
More inspired lunacy in a truly funny read (Press Association)
'Any worries that by now the Thursday Next series would have settled into a rut prove groundless here, as Jasper Fforde delivers another swerveball . . . It's the usual mix of fiendishly clever plotting and exquisitely executed comedy setpieces' **** (SFX)
Engaging lunacy (Sunday Telegraph)
