Book Overview

A big novel about a small town...

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 fa ade 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...

A mundane story made interesting

Published by Shaun Evans , 6 months ago

Rowling takes what should be a boring story and somehow makes it interesting. Small town drama keeps you turning the pages. Very well written.

Torture

Tried to keep going...even got past page 100, but could go no further. Was like a descent into Dante Inferno.

Depressing

Published by Jay , 2 years ago

I tried but couldn’t force myself to keep reading past the first few pages. So sorry, because I think JK Rowling is a brilliant author, but his is just an expose of the worst in humanity.
