TBR RBC 2015: A book by Jasper Fforde
After two years as the ‘Bellman’,
head of Jurisfiction in The Well of Lost Plots (the place where all fiction is
written), Thursday has decided that she’s had enough. While the work keeps her
busy and certainly keeps her busy, she needs to get back to the real world to
get her husband, Landen, uneradicated by the mammoth Goliath corporation and let
her son grow up in a world out of books. Tasked with acclimatising Hamlet to
the real world, evading both her official stalker and the assassin trying to
kill her, stopping a coup against President George Formby, trying to save all
Danish books from a terrible fate and preventing the end of the world with an awesome
game of Superhoop, will Thursday ever have time to fix her own troubles?
