J. K. Rowling, a famosa autora de Harry Potter, anunciou o título do seu novo livro, The Casual Vacancy e data do lançamento a nível mundial para 27 de Setembro. Revelou ainda que a história se passa na cidade inglesa Pagforn onde as coisas não são idílicas como parecem e que será mais direccionada para um público mais adulto.
A sinopse divulgada pela Editora Little, Brown Book Group: "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 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?"
