The Rosie Project
By Graeme Simsion
In this humorous international best-seller, Don Tillman, a brilliant but socially awkward genetics professor, decides it’s time to find a wife – and she can’t be just any woman. She can’t be a drinker, a smoker, a vegan or a woman who’s chronically late. In order to find his perfect mate, Don gives his candidates a 16-page questionnaire.
Rosie Jarman doesn’t fit the mold. But she and Don form a bond during Rosie’s mission to find her biological father. What starts out as a friendship begins to transform into something more.
“Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we’re wired, just want to fit in,” writes the Chicago Tribune.
