J.K. Rowling: The Casual Vacancy. Printed book.

J.K. Rowling is the author of the world-famous seven-volume Harry Potter series. She is also the author of "The Casual Vacancy," a novel for adult readers released in 2012. "The Casual Vacancy" is a chance for readers to see Rowling's work beyond the fantasy genre.
In Pagford, Barry Fairbrother, a member of the local parish council, dies suddenly at the age of forty. This event leaves the townspeople in shock.
In a provincial English town with a cobbled market square and an ancient monastery, all seems idyllic, but is it really? What lies behind the beautiful English facades? In reality, the quiet town has long been in a state of war. The rich are at odds with the poor, teenagers with their parents, wives with husbands, teachers with students... Pagford is not what it seems at first glance. But the vacant seat on the local council only intensifies these conflicts and threatens to lead to a war the likes of which this small town has never seen. Who will manage to win an election filled with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations?
This is a big novel about a small town and J.K. Rowling’s first book for adults. A wonderful work created by an amazing storyteller.
