Bienvenue à Pagford, petite bourgade anglaise paisible et charmante : sesmaisons cossues, son ancienne abbaye, sa place demarché pittoresque... et son lourd fardeau de secrets. Car derrière cette façade idyllique, Pagford est en proie aux tourmentes les plus violentes, et les conflits font rage sur tous les fronts, à la faveur de lamort soudaine de son plus éminent notable. Entre nantis et pauvres, enfants et parents,maris et femmes, ce sont des années de rancunes, de rancoeurs, de haine et demensonges, jusqu'alors soigneusement dissimulés, qui vont éclater au grand jour et, à l'occasion d'une élection municipale en apparence anodine, faire basculer Pagford dans la tragédie.
