The Casual Vacancy
by
J.K. Rowling
When Barry Fairweather
dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little 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?
