Innocent Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) I was browsing through the website I normally buy books through and spotted this: [quote] [b][url="http://www.flipkart.com/casual-vacancy-140870420x/p/itmd8mgzhpc6yqkh?pid=9781408704202"]The Casual Vacancy(Hardcover)[/url][/b] [b] [size=5][size=3]by[url="http://www.flipkart.com/author/j-k-rowling"] J. K. Rowling[/url][/size][/size][/b] Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group (2012) .......... .......... .......... [b] [size=4][b]Book Summary of The Casual Vacancy[/b][/size][/b] 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, [b]The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.[/b] [/quote] (emphasis added) Hmm.. Hadn't heard of this until now. Edited August 27, 2012 by Innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTrishaxLynnx Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sounds pretty interesting. If it's anything like the Potter series, that description won't even do it justice and we can expect a lot of interesting twists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
