JK Rowling's first novel for adults, The Casual Vacancy, is being adapted into a BBC1 drama for 2014.
Published in September, the novel opens with the death of a parish councillor and is based around a local council election.
The best-selling author's first full-length book in five years, it is set in Pagford, a town which appears to be an English idyll but is at war with itself.
