The Woman Who Died a Lot

by Jasper Fforde

Book 7 of the Thursday Next series

An injured Thursday accepts what should be a quieter post as Swindon's chief librarian while her daughter Tuesday develops defenses against a falling asteroid. Meanwhile, artificial Thursday replacements repeatedly die in her place and an unpredictable deity keeps smiting the city. With Landen missing from the future and powerful interests manipulating probability, administrative work becomes another route into disaster. Madcap and surprisingly reflective, this installment suits readers who enjoy weaponized mathematics, dangerous libraries, family mysteries, and comic science fantasy that treats mortality as both a running joke and a genuine loss.
