    Story
    (1689)

    When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, 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 at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

    Story
    What made the experience of listening to The Casual Vacancy the most enjoyable?

    Characters are well defined. They seemed real. I could visualize this place very easily.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Definitely an indictment of the social environment.


    Which character – as performed by Tom Hollander – was your favorite?

    No one in particular.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No! It is too rough a story to listen to for any length of time.


    Any additional comments?

    Audible is always great. Rowling is great. Rowling needs a middle ground story now.
