"The Rosie Project" was an international publishing phenomenon, with more than a million copies sold in over forty countries around the world. Now Graeme Simsion returns with the highly anticipated sequel, "The Rosie Effect."
Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are now married and living in New York. Don has been teaching while Rosie completes her second year at Columbia Medical School. Just as Don is about to announce that Gene, his philandering best friend from Australia, is coming to stay, Rosie drops a bombshell: she''s pregnant.
In true Tillman style, Don instantly becomes an expert on all things obstetric. But in between immersing himself in a new research study on parenting and implementing the Standardised Meal System (pregnancy version), Don''s old weaknesses resurface. And while he strives to get the technicalities right, he gets the emotions all wrong, and risks losing Rosie when she needs him most.
"The Rosie Effect" is the charming and hilarious romantic-comedy of the year.
Graeme Simsion was born in Auckland and is a Melbourne-based writer of short stories, plays, screenplays and two non-fiction books. "The Rosie Project" began life as a screenplay, winning the Australian Writers Guild/Inscription Award for Best Romantic Comedy before being adapted into a novel. It went on to win the 2012 Victorian Premier''s Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript and has since been sold around the world to over forty countries. Sony Pictures have optioned the film rights with Graeme contracted to write the script. It won the 2014 ABIA for Best General Fiction Book and overall Book of the Year.
Praise for "The Rosie Project":
''Funny and heartwarming, a gem of a book.'' Marian Keyes
''Don Tillman helps us believe in possibility, makes us proud to be human beings, and the bonus is this: he keeps us laughing like hell. I''d love to have a beer with the humane and hilarious Graeme Simsion.'' Matthew Quick, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Silver Linings Playbook"
''"The Rosie Project" is 1930s screwball comedy updated for 2013. Hepburn and Grant in "Bringing Up Baby," or Rosalind Russell and Grant in "His Girl Friday" have the exact same pitch, intelligence, wit and farce with a love story at the centre of it all. Madcap indeed, but like those films "The Rosie Project" underscored with writing meticulously judged...Extremely loud and incredibly long applause.'' "Age/SMH/Canberra Times/Brisbane Times"
''What an endearing, funny book...a quirky love story about belonging with poignant undertones on the need for us all to be more tolerant of those with differences. A must read for 2013.'' "Courier Mail/Daily Telegraph"
''The charm of this story is Simsion''s affectionate depiction of his strange, flawed, infuriating, logical and always amusing protagonist.'' "Weekend Australian" Views: 381
