J K Rowling launches 'The Casual Vacancy', her first novel for adults, in this very special event to mark publication.

This is a big novel about a small and seemingly idyllic English town, which faces an uncertain future. From a local election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations, J K Rowling weaves a masterful story.

J K Rowling reads from the book and is then in conversation with Mark Lawson, before taking questions from the audience. She will be signing copies of 'The Casual Vacancy' after the event, limited to one copy per audience member.

If you don't have a ticket to this event, you don't have to miss out. Southbank Centre is live-streaming the discussion to bring it to you. Watch J K Rowling live at youtube.com/southbankcentre at 7.30pm, on 27 September.
