The Casual Vacancy
by J.K. Rowling
This book was gut wrenching, gritty, dirty and it felt real.
It focuses on a community that lives in Pagford, and the reader is introduced to the daily reality of ordinary people's lives in a way that is as bizarre as an episode of 'Desperate Housewives'. The reader is introduced to several issues such as: domestic violence, rape, drug use, mental illness, infidelity, teenage sex and much more of the seedy part of life. I loved reading about everybody's back stories and got engrossed in the issues that were affecting Pagfords residents.
The end of the book was sobering but completely realistic and I thought it was a perfect ending.
A great departure from Harry Potter by Rowling!
