The book, titled “The Casual Vacancy,” will be about the struggle to fill a vacancy on a parish council in an English town and will be for adults. Little, Brown has stated the book will be 512 pages, calling it "a big book about a small town."
The Little, Brown website goes on to describe Pagford, the book's setting, as "seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey." However, readers are told, "Pagford is not what it first seems."
