Nagyregény egy kisvárosról. Az alig negyven-egynéhány éves Barry Fairbrother halála szó szerint felforgatja Pagford városka lakóinak életét. Pagford színleg maga az angol idill, macskaköves piactérrel, ódon apátsággal, ám az elbájoló homlokzat mögött számos viszály dúl. Gazdagok civódnak a szegényekkel, kamaszok a szülőkkel, feleségek a férjekkel, tanárok a tanítványokkal. Hamar kiderül, hogy Pagford nem az a háborítatlan, békés angol kisváros, aminek látszik. Barry átmenetileg megüresedett önkormányzati helye némelyekben szenvedélyes indulatokat kelt, másokat köpönyegforgatásra késztet... Az Átmeneti üresedés az első olyan regény, amelyet Rowling felnőtteknek írt. - J. K.
