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 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. Publishers describe the tale as being “blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising”.
