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 facade 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?
Diciamo che non dipinge un ritratto particolarmente incoraggiante della natura umana in generale, ma la Rowling dimostra ancora una volta di saperci fare. La psicologia dei personaggi, in particolare le loro meschinità, sono rappresentate in modo magistrale e con un tocco molto british.
