![]() The most controversial issue is the Fields, an estate of public housing. Through the course of the election, the serious but hidden tensions of the town are revealed. His passing creates a “casual vacancy,” an open seat on the parish council, setting off a fight for the empty seat. The Casual Vacancy deals with the aftermath of the sudden death of Barry Fairbrother, a well-liked parish councilor who delicately held together the various social and political factions of the town. In the small, picturesque, and fictional British town of Pagford, filled with mostly petty people, Rowling creates intense drama for each individual and the town as a whole. This 500-page book is a first-hand look at various manifestations of disappoints and failings of human nature, yet it also demonstrates the complexity behind personal actions. Rowling’s debut adult novel, should not be taken lightly. ![]()
