The Eyre affair : a novel / Jasper Fforde.

Summary:

Great Britain circa 1985: time travel is routine, cloning is reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where someone has begun kidnapping characters from works of literature. When this madman plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Bronte's novel, Thursday Next -- our resourceful heroine and renowned Special Operative in literary detection -- faces the challenge of her career. She must track down the world's Third Most Wanted criminal and enter the novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide.
