Synopsis "Una vacante imprevista (in Spanish)"

Con su plaza adoquinada y su antiquísima abadía, Pagford parece un típico pueblecito inglés, un lugar idílico en el que la vida transcurre con placida tranquilidad. Sin embargo, sus habitantes están inmersos en una realidad muy diferente. Tras la conmoción causada por la súbita muerte de Barry Fairbrother, se desencadena una auténtica batalla en sordina por ocupar la vacante dejada por Barry en el concejo parroquial, donde se dirime el destino de una urbanización de dudosa legalidad. Y cuando la tensión hace aflorar una serie de conflictos latentes que involucran a todo el pueblo hijos contra padres, pobres contra ricos, mujeres contra maridos, alumnos contra maestros, la pasión, la hipocresía y, especialmente, los secretos que suelen anidar en una comunidad pequeña desempeñaran un papel decisivo en el futuro de Pagford. Una gran novela, ambiciosa, genial, irreverente, divertida, profundamente perturbadora y magníficamente elocuente sobre la Inglaterra contemporánea. Time magazine.

Joanne Rowling (Yate, 1965), known worldwide as J.K. Rowling, is a British writer and screenwriter who has left a deep mark on contemporary literature thanks to the creation of the Harry Potter saga. Her work not only revolutionized children's and young adult literature, but also became a global cultural phenomenon. Before achieving success, Rowling studied Philology and worked in various jobs, including Amnesty International. It was during a train journey when the idea of Harry Potter emerged, which, after overcoming personal difficulties such as the loss of her mother and raising her daughter alone, managed to publish in 1997 after several editorial rejections. The Harry Potter saga, with more than 600 million copies sold and translated into multiple languages, is her most influential work. She also writes crime novels under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, showing her versatility as an author.

In 2020, J.K. Rowling returned to writing for children with the fairy tale The Ickabog, which she first published for free online during the lockdown; later she donated all the book's royalties to help the most vulnerable groups affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. J.K. Rowling confesses she always wanted to be a writer. She lives in Scotland with her family.
