When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?
A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.
A pleasant SENSATION for J. K. Rowling’s fans:
20 copies of “The Casual Vacancy” will be sold with THE GENUINE AUTOGRAPHS OF J. K. ROWLING!
3 more books with the genuine autographs of J. K. Rowling will be awarded to the journalists who, according to the publisher and the translators, will make the most interesting TV coverages or articles about the new book by J. K. Rowling. The results will be announced on April 2nd.
