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 facade 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.

I'm almost shocked by some of the negative reviews (though of course everyone has different tastes!) as I absolutely loved this book. It's not a happy, feel-good book; it's thought provoking, shocking and sad, though if feels to me like real life. Nothing is spared and I can imagine living amongst these people; you never know what's going on behind closed doors.
