Hardback. Condition: As new. Dust Jacket Condition: As new. First edition. First edition. 8vo. Pp. [vi], 503, [3]. Publisher's black cloth lettered in gilt to spine; crimson red end papers. In the distinctive red and yellow dustjacket, common to all global editions. Published on 27 September 2012, simultaneously with the U.S. edition, in a print run of a million copies. Signed by Author to the title page on October 6, 2012, at the Cheltenham Literature Festival and with her hologram sticker to the facing page. Winner of the Best Fiction category in the 2012 Goodreads Choice Awards. An all-out 'war' ensues in the seemingly idyllic English town of Pagford, upon the death of Councillor Barry Fairbrother, in the no holds barred race to replace him. A stand-alone novel, her first for adults, published under her own name, and not under the pen-name 'Robert Galbraith' Rowling uses for her crime fiction. "A big, ambitious, brilliant, profane, funny, deeply upsetting and magnificently eloquent novel of contemporary England, rich with literary intelligence." -Lev Grossman, Time. [Errington, Philip W., J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography, rev. ed. (London: Bloomsbury, 2017), A16(a)] 803. signed. Seller Inventory # C3R YQ7

Never read in near perfect condition but there is some foxing to the text block and dust jacket in great condition with very small bump on the bottom of the back of the book. 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 facade 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. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # ABE-1702393644025
