He’s happy with his partner Claire, he excels in music trivia at quiz night at the local pub, he looks after his mother, and he does the occasional consulting job in IT. But he can never quite shake off his nostalgia for what might have been: his blazing affair more than twenty years ago with an intelligent and strong-willed actress named Angelina Brown who taught him for the first time what it means to find—and then lose—love. How different might his life have been if he hadn’t let her walk away? And then, out of nowhere, from the other side of the world, Angelina gets in touch. What does she want? Does Adam dare to live dangerously?

Two Steps Forward

release date: May 01, 2018
Two Steps Forward
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.

O projeto Rosie
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.

El proyecto esposa/ The Rosie Project

release date: Nov 07, 2013
El proyecto esposa/ The Rosie Project
Hilarante, sorprendente, ingeniosa. «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?» 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. La crítica ha dicho... «Uno de los más atractivos, simpáticos y fascinantes personajes literarios que he encontrado en mucho tiempo.» - The Times «Un libro divertido, maravilloso [...], puro entretenimiento.» -The Independent «Una novela hilarante, llena de chispa.» -Kirkus Reviews «Un héroe cómico digno de recordar [...]. Una novela de lectura compulsiva [...], los desvelos del profesor constituyen también una emocionante historia de alcance universal sobre cómo conciliar la lógica con las emociones, la razón con la pasión, y cómo lograr conectar nuestra vida con la de los demás.» -The Guardian «Adorable, realmente divertida y cálida. Una joya de libro.» -Marian Keyes DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH The international bestselling romantic comedy “bursting with warmth, emotional depth, and…humor,” (Entertainment Weekly) featuring the oddly charming, socially challenged genetics professor, Don, as he seeks true love. The art of love is never a science: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities. Don easily disqualifies her as a candidate for The Wife Project (even if she is “quite intelligent for a barmaid”). But Don is intrigued by Rosie’s own quest to identify her biological father. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie―and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love, it finds you. Arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, Graeme Simsion’s distinctive debut “navigates the choppy waters of adult relationships, both romantic and platonic, with a fresh take (USA TODAY). “Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we’re wired, just want to fit in” (Chicago Tribune).

El projecte Rosie
El Don Tillman pensa casar-se aviat. Però encara no sap amb qui. Una novel·la hilarant, sorprenent i enginyosa. El Projecte Dona per Tota la Vida resoldrà el problema. El Don, amb una síndrome d''Asperger no diagnosticada que el converteix en una persona molt organitzada i sistemàtica, però incapaç de tenir relacions socials normals, ha dissenyat un qüestionari de setze pàgines per trobar la parella perfecta, que evidentment no serà ni cambrera, ni fumadora, ni bevedora, ni impuntual. La Rosie és tot això. I també és impetuosa, intel·ligent i guapíssima. I està intentant descobrir qui és el seu pare biològic. En això sí que el Don, professor de genètica, segurament la podrà ajudar. El Projecte Dona per Tota la Vida li ensenya al Don unes quantes coses que no s''esperava. Per què la llargada del lòbul de l''orella no serveix com a indicador de l''atracció sexual. Per què a Nova York els gelats tenen un altre gust. Per què no ha aconseguit mai tenir una segona cita amb ningú. I per què, per molts esforços científics que facis, no trobes mai l''amor. És l''amor qui et troba a tu. La crítica ha dit... «Per moltes riallades que provoqui aquesta meravellosa novel·la, El Projecte Rosie és una seriosa reflexió sobre la necessitat que tenim de trobar companyia i una identitat pròpia.» John Boyne, autor d'' El noi del pijama de ratlles «Un dels més atractius, simpàtics i fascinants personatges literaris que he trobat en molt de temps.» The Times
