The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

The Casual Vacancy - In the English town of Pagford, Barry Fairbrother, a town councilman, dies. As we learn about the different people connected to Fairbrother, we also learn about the issues that are dividing the town.  The rich of the town are trying to slough the town's poor section off to the next city.  The children are rebelling against their parents.  Couples are fighting with each other.  In other words, just about every familial dysfunction is displayed in this little town.
