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.

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 town’s 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.

感觉罗琳这真是过足了讲故事写人物的瘾啊,虽然故事本身真没什么,但是细节还是写得特别棒。继续脑残粉。

没看过哈利波特,单纯就这本书来说,不对我的口味,感觉太拉杂了。但是“偶然性引发的不同反应和后果”这个概念不错,好多事情发展的确是偶然而来,意义重大,可是偏偏似乎是偶然发展的

读细碎的前半本时多睡了100个小时午觉,坚持过去终于豁然开朗。" Behind every nondescript face lay a wild and unique hinterland."

重读了一下英文版的,故事挺平庸的。前半部分的琐碎冗长简直让人抓狂,虚伪的中产令人作呕。最后平民窟女孩死了,其他人被“治愈”了。为Krystal Weedon感到不公,她被消费了。(确实成功写活了Stuart这个垃圾混小子,Gavin这个懦弱可悲的渣男,Simon这个控制暴力狂,Shirley这个爱嚼舌根的伥鬼,整本书透露着一股父权制的陈腐味)

看了一点,很琐碎很细节

英国红脖小镇众生相,生活太苦了,苦到发涩;小说前2/3节奏太慢了,后1/3才开始精彩起来,细节描写非常出色,可能是我读过的书里细节写得最好的

看了这本书才知道还有”成人小说“这种定义。如果说成人小说就是揭露黑暗的现实的话,我还真的只适合看儿童小说呢。。。 看完书整个人都不好了。。。
