Description

A big novel about a small town...

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 fa ade 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.

JK Rowling’s first novel after the harry potter saga.
By: Antonius B.

A local government office is vacated by a death (no, it’s not a murder mystery ), necessitating a need for an election. Three person steps up, each with a secret and a personal reason to run for election. As the election heats up, each tries to smear each other using anonymous internet forum in the local government website. Little did they know that this smear will have real human cost to each other life and literally, it will cost a life.

The plot and symbolism are amazing even though the prose can be confusing sometimes. JK Rowling is definitely trying to branch out of her pigeonhole as a children’s writer in this book.
