In this sequel to THE EYRE AFFAIR, literature rules in Fforde's alternate universe otherwise known as Wales, where the Crimean War is far from over. (Huge crowds flock to Shakespeare's plays, kids trade bubble gum cards featuring literary figures, and Miss Havisham is still alive and working for the literary police.) When Thursday Next's husband is imprisoned in a book, she goes in search of him, barging into everything from THE TRIAL to ALICE IN WONDERLAND in an attempt to get him back.
