J.K. Rowling
Hachette has just announced that J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults will be published by Little, Brown on September 27, 2012. The Casual Vacancy is about a small British village that finds itself turned upside down during a tumultuous council election season.
“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,” says the publisher annotation, which also describes the novel as “blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising.”
