    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.

    Darwin8u says: "Pagford upon Avon"
    "Strong story, but so unrelenting."

    Story
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    The people are believable and the story presses forward to a gloomy, but inevitable conclusion. The issues are compelling.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Now that you ask, I wonder why it was I persisted in finishing the story. Probably because I hoped for redemption somewhere, preferably among the kids.


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

    Crystal


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The Doctor's explosion at the Council meeting.


    Any additional comments?

    Write more, but please some of the cleverness that lead to Diagonally.
