The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a story about love,
life and lobsters...
Meet Don Tillman.
Don is getting married.
He just doesn''t know who to yet.
But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him
find the perfect woman.
One thing he already knows, though, is that it''s not
Rosie.
Absolutely, pletely, definitely not.
Telling the story of Rosie and Don, Graeme Simsion''s The Rosie
Project is an international phenomenon, sold in over thirty
countries - and counting.
Don Tillman is a socially challenged geics professor who''s
decided the time has e to find a wife. His questionnaire is
intended to weed out anyone who''s unsuitable. The trouble is, Don
has rather high standards and doesn''t really do flexible so,
despite lots of takers - he looks like Gregory Peck - he''s not
having much success in identifying The One.
When Rosie Jarman es to his office, Don assumes it''s to apply
for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she
smokes, drinks, doesn''t eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality.
However, Rosie has no interest in being Mrs Tillman and is actually
there to enlist Don''s assistance in a professional capacity: to
help her find her biological father.Sometimes, though, you don''t
find love: love finds you...
Like The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Rosie Project
by Graeme Simsion is a truly distinctive debut. With the charm of
Mark Haddon''s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and
the romance of David Nicholls'' One Day, it''s both funny and
endearing - and is set to bee the feel-good novel of 2013...
