![]() ![]() ![]() 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. When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. The thing was– the story was just not very interesting! I found it could not keep my interest and there were moments I thought I would give up altogether. I kept putting it aside, reading several books in between. ![]() Of course there was a lot of hype! I was hyped! I got it the first month it was out! Honestly, I was not expecting Harry– I knew this one would be nothing like it (she said it hundreds, if not thousands of times). I started to read it in October (OCTOBER!!?) and I FINALLY finished it last week. The Casual Vacancy is her first foray into the adult contemporary fiction genre. I read and LOVED every word of Harry Potter– J. ![]()
