La historia de esta primera obra de Rowling para adultos se centra en Pagford, un imaginario pueblecito del sudoeste de Inglaterra donde la súbita muerte de un concejal desata una feroz pugna entre las fuerzas vivas del pueblo para hacerse con el puesto del fallecido, factor clave para resolver un antiguo litigio territorial.
La minuciosa descripción de las virtudes y miserias de los personajes conforman un microcosmos tan intenso como revelador de los obstáculos que lastran cualquier proyecto de convivencia, y, al mismo tiempo, dibujan un divertido y polifacético muestrario de la infinita variedad del género humano.
Sin que el lector apenas lo perciba, Rowling consigue involucrarlo en temas de profundo calado mientras lo conduce sin pausa a un sorprendente desenlace final.

Work Description

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