What is The Casual Vacancy about?

When Barry Fairbrother dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.

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.
