Our view
“The Woman Who Died a Lot” shows the Thursday Next series still inventive and playful at its seventh instalment. Fforde again sets the action in an alternative Swindon where novels and plays sit at the heart of public life, and fills it with literary jokes. Some readers doubt the premise in the early chapters, then warm to it as the story takes hold. Newcomers should begin with the first book.
