The Eyre Affair

Written in 2011 and kept as it was, so some of it will have aged.

Like Pratchett if he had an obsession with Victorian literature, Jasper Fforde weaves a funny and inventive narrative in an alternative-reality England. With endless wit and a pun on every page, he manages to breathe new life into old classics, wrapping them in pastiche and satire while still showing his obvious love for all things literary.
