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?
Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.

评分##《偶发空缺》最大的新闻点是“J.K.罗琳第一部成人小说”,写的是成年人的故事,成年人之间的纠葛和他们的纷扰。二三十个主要人物,个个异常传神,虽俱为麻瓜,可怜可恨之处各不相同。成年人读这本书,心中最隐秘的角落或许会被照亮,但不用担心,世无完人,小说中最完美的人物...
