"The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Forde
A huge thanks to Raj for his unparalleled warm and hospitality for this BBC!
In "he Eyre Affair" the parallel world, England and Imperial Russia have fought the Crimean War for more than a century. England itself is a police state run by the Goliath Corporation (a powerful weapon-producing company with questionable morals). Wales is a separate, socialist nation. Jane Eyre ends when Jane leaves for India with her cousin St. John rivers to become a missionary. Literary questions (especially the question of Shakespearean authorship) are debated so hotly that they inspire gang wars and murder.
Views were mixed, but generally members enjoyed "The Eyre Affair". An uncommonly high score from Ewan ... is new fatherhood softening up Ewan!
Scores were:
Kevin 7.5
Leanne 8
Helen (Dynes for Helen) 9
Mark 7
Ewan 7.5
Henri 5
Dennis 6
Raj 8
Average 6.8
The next book will be Unimagined by Imran Ahmad. Wishing all BBC members a great month until then. Mark
