The Eyre Affair: A Novel by Jasper Fford

This book is best described by comparing it to other books. It has certain elements from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter. It contains a plethora of literary references, so if you like in jokes, you’ll enjoy this book. The story is set in an alternate England of 1985 where time travel and other seemingly unlikely technologies are possible. The character, Tuesday Next works for the government’s Special Operations’ Literary Division. Her maverick style of solving cases leads to high adventure. A fun book that presents no serious discussion of the human condition.
