"When Thursday Next finds that her husband of only a month drowned thirty-eight years ago, she has to find out who is responsible."
"When Thursday finds that her husband of only a month drowned thirty-eight years ago, she has to find out who is responsible. As she searches for answers, she helps Miss Havisham close narrative loopholes in Great Expectations, struggles for a deeper understanding of The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies and learns the truth about Larry the Lamb. Paper politicians, lost Shakespearean manuscripts, woolly mammoth migrations, a flurry of near-fatal coincidences, and impending Armageddon are all part of a great plan, but whose?"@en
"Thursday works for Special Ops in the Literary Detectives division. She's made an enemy of the corrupt Goliath Corporation, which manufactures absolutely everything, by imprisoning one of its executives, Jack Schitt, in the pages of Poe's The Raven. In return, the corporation eradicates her new husband, Landen. Since no one really dies in this chronologically fluid universe, Landen could be restored-but Goliath won't do it until Thursday brings back Schitt."
"Thursday Next, literary detective and newly-wed, is on the trail of her husband, who appears to have drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Her quest takes her into conflict with the sinister Goliath Corporation and to meetings with Neanderthals, the Flopsy Bunnies and Jane Eyre."
"Thursday Next is back on another wildly imaginative journey through time and literature. Join the fun as she jumps through the Prose Portal and enters the classics to rescue bad endings and trick and trap evildoers inside Poe's poetry."
"Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan. But whose? and why?"
