This is another of my posts on
how a successful author hooks the
reader at the start of the story, what information she feels is necessary at
this point and how she approaches things like POV, character and voice (other first chapter I’ve analysed can be found here: Chapter One Analyses).
I chose The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling
partly because it’s in the news, but also because it was a good opportunity to
see how an author goes about winning over readers who might be sceptical or
wary of her attempt at a new genre.
