I've just finished A Casual Vacancy, and while nary a wizard nor witch was to be seen, it was a very good read. It is solid literary fiction, and as she proved in the Harry Potter series, JK can weave plotlines and develop characters with the best of today's authors. I really enjoyed the book and enthusiastically recommend it!

I may have to. I shall pretend she is not JKR. I shall pretend it's just a book I've found. Yes. That's the ticket.

 It's not true! Of course I loved HP! I wouldn't be able to look Brooks in the face, if I hadn't! I meant that this book is 'puportedly' so different from her HP series that it's probably best to think of it differently.... Cave! "Hail, Caesar. We, who are about to die, salute you ..." (That would be Mrs Seditisho again. You have to imagine the Latin and the Zulu accent.) "it is a far, far better thing that I do now..." That would be Sydney Carton and Mrs Whitehouse in English class. Oh, and someone called Charles Dickens ....
