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.

評分##A fine piece of work with the same ambition and gravitas of ‘Middlemarch’.
評分##剛開始讀這本書我犯瞭三個錯誤:太過於強調作者是寫過哈利波特的羅琳,開頭讀得太慢人物沒有及時理清楚,也就沒能很早融到故事中去,沒有心理準備這不是一本類型小說。所以讀的過程中都有些失望,或者說是一頭霧水,直到最後的一百頁纔開始找到點感覺。加上對英國議會製度和社保醫療製度不是很瞭解,pagford小鎮的生活離我的生活太遠,這樣一個封閉,人與人之間都有聯係的小鎮存在於21世紀,總是給我有些時空錯亂的感覺。我覺得這本書和《殺死一隻知更鳥》感覺有些類似,故事性不是很強,但是人物的刻畫非常細緻,鮮明。對於底層的階級或種族有很深的挖掘和展示,有很強的階級分明,並且要讀到最後纔能感受的這本書的著力點所在,讀完後不知道結局是悲是喜,隻是有些悶悶的感覺。
評分##初中讀的,今天突然想起,懷念一下。很喜歡,印象最深的是媽媽吸毒的那個女生,還記得她愛的歌Umbrella……
