Little, Brown revealed the cover for J.K. Rowling’s new book “The Casual Vacancy” Tuesday morning, whetting appetites further for Rowling’s non-Potter venture that will be released in September.
The cover has a simple design, with a red and yellow motif and a central image of a box with a black check mark inside.
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."
To find out more, readers – at least, those without supernatural powers – will have to wait until Sept. 27.
