Goodreads Summary
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.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I'm very curious about her first adult novel, but I'm a little apprehensive because I love Harry Potter so much. It's so different and I'm not sure if it is something I'd enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

I think I'm the only person on the earth that isn't really excited for this book. I actually don't think it sounds interesting at all. But I hope you enjoy it when it comes out!
