Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is our Unabridged Book Club pick this month. In The Rosie Project, professor Don Tillman has embarked on a mission -- his plan is to find a suitable life partner. He decides to create an extensive questionnaire for female candidates to complete and dubs the quest “The Wife Project.” Along comes Rosie Jarman, who is far from suitable according to the questionnaire. However, she and Don get swept up in another joint project, the quest to find her biological father. Drama ensues.
Spoilers are inevitable throughout our Book Club discussion, so consider whether or not to listen if you haven't yet read the book The Rosie Project!
