A HUGE BOOK about a little town...
In his early forties, Barry Fairbrother passes very suddenly, leaving the little hamlet of Pagford in disbelief. With its mediaeval abbey and cobblestone market square, Pagford seems to be a picture-perfect English village; but, beneath the picturesque exterior is a hamlet in conflict. Wealthy against impoverished, adolescents against their parents, spouses against their husbands, educators against their students... Pagford is not who it looks on the surface. Furthermore, Barry's vacant position on the town council quickly serves as the impetus for the largest conflict the community has ever seen. In an election full of emotion, deceit, and shocking disclosures, who will win?
A thought-provoking, darkly humorous, and often unexpected book, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first adult novel.
