The Casual Vacancy

Amazon has just announced the title and given a synopsis for J. K. Rowling's first non-Harry Potter book, The Casual Vacancy. It is already on my wish list! I am excited to see what she does with it. I hope it gets a fair chance and is not compared to the Harry Potter series too much. It comes out September 27. I'm putting the Amazon link below so you too can add it to your wishlist.

Product Description

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 town’s 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?
