"The highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel The Rosie Project, starring the same extraordinary couple now living in New York and unexpectedly expecting their first child. Get ready to fall in love all over again. Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are back. The Wife Project is complete, and Don and Rosie are happily married and living in New York. But they're about to face a new challenge because-- surprise!--Rosie is pregnant. Don sets about learning the protocols of becoming a father, but his unusual research style gets him into trouble with the law. Fortunately his best friend Gene is on hand to offer advice: he's left Claudia and moved in with Don and Rosie. As Don tries to schedule time for pregnancy research, getting Gene and Claudia to reconcile, servicing the industrial refrigeration unit that occupies half his apartment, helping Dave the Baseball Fan save his business, and staying on the right side of Lydia the social worker, he almost misses the biggest problem of all: he might lose Rosie when she needs him the most. Graeme Simsion first introduced these unforgettable characters in The Rosie Project, which NPR called "sparkling entertainment along the lines of Where'd You Go Bernadette and When Harry Met Sally." The SanFrancisco Chronicle said, "sometimes you just need a smart love story that will make anyone, man or woman, laugh out loud." If you were swept away by the book that's captivated a million readers worldwide, you will love The Rosie Effect"--

A smart and funny story from the author of The Rosie Project - two misfits walk 2,000 km along the Camino to find themselves and, perhaps, each other. A novel of second chances and reinvention from Graeme Simsion, and his wife Anne Buist. Optioned for film. Zoe, a sometime artist, is from California. Martin, an engineer, is from Yorkshire. Both have ended up in picturesque Cluny, in central France. Both are struggling to come to terms with their recent past - for Zoe, the death of her husband; for Martin, a messy divorce. Looking to make a new start, each sets out alone to walk two thousand kilometres from Cluny to Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain, in the footsteps of pilgrims who have walked the Camino (the Way) for centuries. The Camino changes you, it's said. It's a chance to find a new version of yourself, and a new beginning. But can these two very different people find themselves? Will they find each other? In this smart, funny and romantic journey, Martin's and Zoe's stories are told in alternating chapters by husband-and-wife team Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist. Two Steps Forward is a novel about renewal - physical, psychological and spiritual. It's about the challenge of walking a long distance and of working out where you are going. And it's about what you decide to keep, what you choose to leave behind and what you rediscover along the way. Optioned by Fox Searchlight for Ellen DeGeneres to produce through A Very Good Production

Two Steps Forward

A Globe & Mail 100 Selection The feel-good hit of 2013, The Rosie Project is a classic screwball romance about a handsome but awkward genetics professor and the woman who is totally wrong for him A first-date dud, socially awkward and overly fond of quick-dry clothes, genetics professor Don Tillman has given up on love, until a chance encounter gives him an idea. He will design a questionnaire—a sixteen-page, scientifically researched questionnaire—to uncover the perfect partner. She will most definitely not be a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker or a late-arriver. Rosie is all these things. She is also fiery and intelligent, strangely beguiling, and looking for her biological father a search that a DNA expert might just be able to help her with. The Rosie Project is a romantic comedy like no other. It is arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, and it will make you want to drink cocktails.

Database Design: Know It All

Ο Ντον Τίλμαν παντρεύεται. Απλώς δεν ξέρει ακόμη με ποια. Το πρόβλημα θα λυθεί με την Υπόθεση Σύζυγος. Έχει σχεδιάσει ένα δεκαεξασέλιδο ερωτηματολόγιο που θα τον βοηθήσει να βρει την τέλεια σύντροφο. Οπωσδήποτε δεν πρέπει να είναι μπαργούμαν ή καπνίστρια ή να πίνει ή να αργεί. Η Ρόζι Τζάρμαν είναι ακριβώς έτσι. Επίσης είναι γεμάτη πάθος, έξυπνη και όμορφη. Και έχει και τη δική της αποστολή, να βρει τον βιολογικό πατέρα της. Στην αναζήτησή της μπορεί να τη βοηθήσει ο Ντον, που είναι καθηγητής γενετικής. Μέσα από την Υπόθεση Σύζυγος ο Ντον μαθαίνει κάποια αναπάντεχα πράγματα. Γιατί το μήκος των λοβών είναι ανεπαρκής δείκτης σεξουαλικής έλξης. Γιατί το παγωτό έχει διαφορετική γεύση στη Νέα Υόρκη. Γιατί ποτέ δεν έχει βγει δεύτερο ραντεβού. Και γιατί, παρά τις καλύτερες επιστημονικές του προσπάθειες, δεν μπορεί να βρει τον έρωτα: Ο έρωτας σε βρίσκει.
