Where Can You Find Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling’s New Book in Northville?
The new book, The Casual Vacancy, was released this week.
Harry Potter may have vanished into the past, but author J.K. Rowling is still around, with her for-adults book The Casual Vacancy due out this week.
In Northville, you can buy the book at the Next Chapter Bookstore & Bistro and at Barnes & Noble.
The new book by the creator of Harry Potter is aimed at a grown-up audience.
More than 2 million hardcover copies of her first novel are set to be released simultaneously in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Germany.
According to USA Today, the story is set in the little English town of Pagford, and revolves around an election held after a member of the parish council unexpectedly dies. Despite the Miss Marple terrain, press materials describe The Casual Vacancy as "blackly comic … 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."
