A time to think about lives lived, choices made. A time for friends... Every week, four women have an unmissable appointment in their calendars: they meet for breakfast. Clare has just been through a devastating divorce. She’s driven by anger and revenge — until she learns something that forces her to question her own actions and to look deep inside for the person she used to be. Elizabeth is a successful professional. A widow, she’s determined not to waste another second of her life. And maybe that includes romantic possibilities... Karen is in her twenties, and she believes these should be the years for taking risks. She’s working on her dream of being an actor, despite her mother’s severe disapproval. Julia is turning forty this year. Her husband’s career is established, her kids are finally teenagers and she’s just started her own business. Everything’s going according to plan — until she discovers she’s pregnant. Over a meal and coffee, the friends talk, tell their stories, and offer each other encouragement and unfailing support. They share the truths they’ve discovered about their lives.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The first novel in the renowned Thursday Next series, which “combines elements of Monty Python, Harry Potter, Stephen Hawking, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (The Wall Street Journal). “A literary wonderland [that] recalls Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker series [and] the works of Lewis Carroll.”—USA Today Meet Thursday Next, “part Bridget Jones, part Nancy Drew, and part Dirty Harry” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times), a literary detective without equal, fear, or boyfriend—and welcome to a surreal version of Great Britain, circa 1985, where time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wadsworth poem, militant Baconians heckle performances of Hamlet, and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday, renowned Special Operative in literary detection, until someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature. When Jane Eyre is plucked from the pages of Brontë’s novel, Thursday must track down the villain and enter a novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide.
