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?
Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.
雖然不是什麼經典名著,但該書是經典名著常常描述的那一個範疇,羅琳的文學造詣雖然比不上前輩作傢,但在當代作傢中,其功力還屬上乘。因為我不是哈迷,所以,我不會僅僅站在暢銷好讀的基礎上進行評論。從故事的趣味性和閱讀的流暢性,該書肯定比不上HP,如果抱著讀一本暢銷小...
評分##我想,成名作傢最大的煩惱莫過於如何延續或是突破自我的創作生涯,他或她們不喜歡也不希望當自己的新作品呈現給讀者時,所得到的反饋是令人失望的自我重復,漸而陷入江郎纔盡的一潭死水,這對於任何一位作者而言都是不得不麵對的挑戰。顯而易見,新作品擔負的重任不僅要錶現齣...

評分##Rowling的功力在於把一個平淡無奇的小鎮上的婆婆媽媽事情寫得百轉韆迴。每一個角色都個性鮮明,毛病突齣,但又各有各的難言之隱。
評分帕格鎮因為巴裏的死亡陷入一場爭奪議員席位的無硝煙戰爭,圍繞一種基於遠離英倫十萬八韆裏的上海在地情懷一般的經濟與風俗博弈,展開瞭一場針對小鎮與市區及中間“叢地”之於帕格鎮去留的拉鋸戰。這太不羅琳瞭,遙想當年,《哈利•波特》的世界,天馬行空之下,亦多不列顛風...
