May Book Discussion
This month we will read The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.
Thursday, May 23rd at 5PM
A hilarious, feel-good novel narrated by an oddly charming and socially challenged genetics professor on an unusual quest: to find out if he is capable of true love.
Story Synopsis:
Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a “wonderful” husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical—most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.
Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent—and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father. Don’s Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.
About the author:
Graeme Simsion was born in Auckland, New Zealand and at twelve, he migrated with his family to Melbourne, Australia. He completed a science degree at Monash University, majoring in physics. He took a job as a computer operator and later started his own consulting company. In 1993, he published his first book. The Rosie Project was the 2012 winner for the Victorian Premier’s Award. It was a critical and popular success. He followed it with two more in the series which has since sold over six million copies in forty-two languages. He lives in Melbourne with his wife Anne and two children, and is a frequent traveler, walker, jogger, and drinker of wine and cocktails.
