Waiting on Wednesday (11)

No Waiting on Wednesday desta semana apresento um dos livros mais desejados (por mim e por outros, eheh) este ano. "The Casual Vacancy" de J.K. Rowling. Sou uma das inúmeras fans da saga Harry Potter e estou muito curiosa em relação a este novo livro, a primeira obra direccionada para o público adulto. Como ficámos a saber há algumas semanas atrás, este livro será traduzido e editado em Portugal pela Editorial Presença.

The Casual Vacancy - J.K. Rowling

Idioma: Inglês

Descrição (GR): "When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the 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?

A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other."
