The rosie project

Love isn't an exact science - but no one told Don Tillman. A thirty-nine-year-old geneticist, Don's never had a second date. So he devises the Wife Project, a scientific test to find the perfect partner. Enter Rosie - 'the world's most incompatible woman' - throwing Don's safe, ordered life into chaos. But what is this unsettling, alien emotion he's feeling?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", "The Rosie Project" by Graeme Simsion is both funny and endearing - and is set to become the paperback of 2014.
