Lost in a Good Book
Book 2 of the Thursday Next series
Thursday Next becomes an apprentice within Jurisfiction, the agency responsible for policing the world inside books. Her missing husband has been erased from history, while coincidences and textual disruptions suggest a larger threat to both fiction and reality. Training among literary characters gives Thursday new tools but no simple way to restore the life she remembers. Playful and densely referential, this sequel suits book lovers who enjoy metafiction, comic bureaucracy, literary cameos, and mysteries whose clues may be hiding between the lines.
