Author JK Rowling has announced her first adult novel will be called The Casual Vacancy. The Harry Potter writer revealed in February that she was working on the book, and said it would be "very different" from her previous material.
The book will be published worldwide in hardback, e-book and as an audio download and CD on 27 September. "The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry's success has brought me," Rowling said.
The story is centred on the death of Barry Fairweather, whose unexpected passing shocks the local villagers of Pagford. The company describes the tale as being "blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising".
I haven't read any book of Rowling in exception of Harry Potter. I'm extremely fond of this saga! Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone was the first novel I read (without drawings and a lot of lyrics). Since this moment, Hogwarts catched me.. and right now, I'm very fond of all this world as before. So I would be glad to read another book by Rowling! Moreover, this new one seems so interesting... although I'll have to read it on summer, because now I can't do anything but study... I want to do what I love, but it seems I have to wait more and more and more...
