Description de l’éditeur
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 loved every minute spent with Krystal, Kay, Fats, Howard, Maureen, Gaia, and all the Pagfordians! Thank you, dear JK!
Hâte
J'ai hâte de lire ce livre ;)
Long!!!!
Je me suis perdue dans les personnages. J'ai eu du mal à rentrer dans l'intrigue. Il m'a fallu beaucoup d'efforts pour arriver au bout. La fin est bien. Une montée en puissance mais qui met tellement de temps à venir qu'on a perdu toute envie.
La seule chose positive que je retiendrai de ce livre c'est le portrait me semble-t-il juste d'un royaume uni contemporain et des personnages très réalistes dans leur médiocrité.
