    Dans le monde de Thursday Next, la littérature fait quasiment office de religion. A tel point qu'une brigade spéciale a dû être créée pour s'occuper d'affaires aussi essentielles que traquer les plagiats, découvrir la paternité des pièces de Shakespeare ou arrêter les revendeurs de faux manuscrits. Mais quand on a un père capable de traverser le temps et un oncle à l'origine des plus folles inventions, on a parfois envie d'un peu plus d'aventure. Alors, lorsque Jane Eyre, l'héroïne du livre fétiche de Thursday, est kidnappée par Achéron Hadès, incarnation du mal en personne, la jeune détective décide de prendre les choses en main et de tout tenter pour sauver le roman de Charlotte Brontë d'une fin certaine... " Au croisement du roman policier et de l'uchronie déjantée, Jasper Fforde signe un ouvrage jubilatoire. " Le Monde des livres.
