Little Brown Book Group, Rowling's publishing company, has released this plot summary for the book:

"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?"

It is described as a blackly comedy that is thought provoking and constantly surprising!

I will be counting down the days until September 27th! You can pre-order The Casual Vacancy now at Amazon.com
