A Novel

The Rosie Project

Anne Buist

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Rosie Project comes a story of taking chances and learning to love again as two people, one mourning her husband and the other recovering from divorce, cross paths on the centuries-old Camino pilgrimage from France to Spain. “The Chemin will change you. It changes everyone…” The Chemin, also known as the Camino de Santiago, is a centuries-old pilgrim route that ends in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. Every year, thousands of walkers—some devout, many not—follow the route that wends through quaint small villages and along busy highways alike, a journey unlike any other. Zoe, an artist from California who’s still reeling from her husband’s sudden death, has impulsively decided to walk the Camino, hoping to find solace and direction. Martin, an engineer from England, is road-testing a cart of his own design…and recovering from a messy divorce. They begin in the same French town, each uncertain of what the future holds. Zoe has anticipated the physical difficulties of her trek, but she is less prepared for other challenges, as strangers and circumstances force her to confront not just recent loss, but long-held beliefs. For Martin, the pilgrimage is a test of his skills and endurance but also, as he and Zoe grow closer, of his willingness to trust others—and himself—again. Smart and funny, insightful and romantic, Two Steps Forward reveals that the most important journeys we make aren’t measured in miles, but in the strength, wisdom, and love found along the way. Fans of The Rosie Project will recognize Graeme Simsion’s uniquely quirky and charming writing style.

The Rosie Effect

Het Rosie Project

Rosie Projesi

Hilarante, sorprendente, ingeniosa, El Proyecto Esposa tiene un protagonista excepcional: el inteligente, obsesivo y literal Don Tillman, para quien navegar por este mundo de emociones complejas e incoherentes, poblado por seres que a menudo dicen exactamente lo contrario de lo que piensan, constituye una tarea tan ardua como desconcertante.«Me llamo Don Tillman, tengo treinta y nueve años y soy profesor adjunto de Genética en la Universidad de Melbourne. Mi trabajo está bien remunerado, me alimento de forma equilibrada y regular, y mi condición física es óptima. En el reino animal, no tendría ninguna dificultad para aparearme, pero en el humano, nunca he logrado tener una segunda cita con la misma mujer. Los motivos de mi fracaso no termino de entenderlos, y como las estadísticas muestran que los hombres casados son, en promedio, más felices y viven más tiempo, he decidido poner en marcha un programa vital para mí, el Proyecto Esposa. A tal fin, he creado un algoritmo perfecto que me permitirá excluir las candidatas inadecuadas: las fumadoras, las impuntuales, las desorganizadas, las que dedican demasiado tiempo a su aspecto exterior... en suma, todas aquellas que no respondan a los estrictos criterios que se exponen en el cuestionario de dieciséis páginas que he elaborado. Este libro es el informe científico -aunque me han explicado que hay que denominarlo novela- acerca del resultado de mi proyecto. Quien lo lea descubrirá que la candidata menos apropiada se llama Rosie; y también encontrará la respuesta a una pregunta fundamental: ¿puede el amor cambiar la vida de una persona, incluso de un individuo como yo?»

romanzo

L'amore è un difetto meraviglioso

Romance de estreia do mundialmente conhecido Graeme Simsion. Com humor fino e inteligente, O Projeto Rosie conta a história do professor de genética Don Tillman, segundo o jornal The Guardian, um personagem para entrar para a história da literatura. Na busca pela esposa perfeita, ele vai precisar de muito mais do que o questionário que desenvolveu para selecionar candidatas. E quando Rosie Jarman surge – um exemplar totalmente inadequado de parceira –, o imprevisto, o impulso e a emoção passam a ser as novas regras. A obra teve os direitos vendidos para mais de 30 países, e vai se tornar filme, com produção da Sony Pictures.

A compelling, addictive novel for readers of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine told with heart, humour and insight by Anne Buist and The Rosie Project's Graeme Simsion

Welcome to The Menzies. Trainee psychiatrist Doctor Hannah Wright, a country girl with a chaotic history, thought she had seen it all in the emergency room. But that was nothing compared to the psychiatric ward at Menzies Hospital.

Amongst unrelenting hours, hospital politics, fraught relationships and new friendships, Hannah must learn on the job in a strained medical system, navigating the conflicting practice of her boss, Nash, who puts his faith in pharmaceuticals, and his boss, Professor Gordon, who takes the Freudian line. Meanwhile, the new manager thinks they're all part of the problem.

Hannah and her fellow trainees are dealing with the common and the bizarre, the hilarious and the tragic, the treatable and the confronting. Every day brings new patients: Chloe, who has life-threatening anorexia nervosa; Sian, suffering postpartum psychosis and fighting to keep her baby; and Xavier, the MP whose suicide attempt has an explosive story behind it. All the while, Hannah is trying to figure out herself.

With intelligence, frankness and humour, eminent psychiatrist Anne Buist tells it like it is, while co-writer Graeme Simsion brings the light touch that made The Rosie Project an international bestseller and a respected contribution to the autism conversation.

Roman

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 San Francisco 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.
