Waiting on Wednesday: The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling



Waiting on Wednesday (WoW) is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine,  that spotlights upcoming releases that I am looking forward to, bated breath and all! Posts go up every Wednesday.

The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling
  
From Good Reads:  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?

Yes, I realize everyone is waiting for this book, but I want to know if Ms. Rowling can write beyond the Harry Potter world.
