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 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?
Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.
帕格镇因为巴里的死亡陷入一场争夺议员席位的无硝烟战争,围绕一种基于远离英伦十万八千里的上海在地情怀一般的经济与风俗博弈,展开了一场针对小镇与市区及中间“丛地”之于帕格镇去留的拉锯战。这太不罗琳了,遥想当年,《哈利•波特》的世界,天马行空之下,亦多不列颠风...
评分 评分 评分##这是一本怎样的书呢? 我说:他是一本,当你拿起来后就不愿意停下;但短暂放下后却需要更大的勇气继续阅读。 它被迫让我看到是,我最不想看到的一面。 这本罗琳的书,在豆瓣上推荐了好久,一直未下决心去看,一方面是我觉得《哈利波特》系列给我的印象太深了,我不想去改变我...
评分 评分 评分##盼到了J.K.罗琳的新书,却不是《哈利·波特》的续集,而是一个全新的故事供成年人阅读。故事发生在英国西南部一个名叫帕格的小镇上,刚过不惑之年的巴里•菲尔布拉泽先生突然病逝。原本生老病死、悲欢离别是再正常不过的事罢了,但平日里安宁和睦的帕格镇便从此开始了...
评分##刚开始读这本书我犯了三个错误:太过于强调作者是写过哈利波特的罗琳,开头读得太慢人物没有及时理清楚,也就没能很早融到故事中去,没有心理准备这不是一本类型小说。所以读的过程中都有些失望,或者说是一头雾水,直到最后的一百页才开始找到点感觉。加上对英国议会制度和社保医疗制度不是很了解,pagford小镇的生活离我的生活太远,这样一个封闭,人与人之间都有联系的小镇存在于21世纪,总是给我有些时空错乱的感觉。我觉得这本书和《杀死一只知更鸟》感觉有些类似,故事性不是很强,但是人物的刻画非常细致,鲜明。对于底层的阶级或种族有很深的挖掘和展示,有很强的阶级分明,并且要读到最后才能感受的这本书的着力点所在,读完后不知道结局是悲是喜,只是有些闷闷的感觉。
评分##A fine piece of work with the same ambition and gravitas of ‘Middlemarch’.
