Pagford, a seemingly quiet English village, is in truth a town at war with itself-- rich against the poor, wives against their husbands, and teachers against their students. When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, Pagford is left in shock, but the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest conflict the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations?
