About this listen

The Rosie Effect is the charming and hilarious sequel to Graeme Simsion's best-selling debut novel, The Rosie Project.

With the Wife Project complete, Don settles into a new job and married life in New York. But it's not long before certain events are taken out of his control and it's time to embark on a new project....

As Don tries to get to grips with the requirements of starting a family, his unusual research style gets him into trouble. To make matters worse, Don has invited his closest friend to stay with them, but Gene is not exactly the best model for marital happiness. As Don's life with Rosie continues to be unpredictable, he needs to remember that emotional support is just as important as practical expertise.

Join Don and Rosie in the next chapter of their weird and wonderful journey in Graeme Simsion's unmissable new novel, The Rosie Effect.

Critic Reviews

"Warm-hearted and perfectly pitched, with profound themes that are worn lightly, this very enjoyable read promises to put Don Tillman on the comic literary map somewhere between Mr Pooter and Adrian Mole." ( Guardian)
"Funny, endearing, and pure, wonderful escapism." ( Independent)
"Don Tillman is one of the most endearing, charming and fascinating literary characters I have met in a long time." ( The Times)

Hilarious, Heartwarming and Insightful

A clever sequel to The Rosie Project. I needed to know how things had panned out for Don Tillman and Rosie. It had me mostly laughing, feeling incredulous and even enlightened. It is a perfect glimpse into the effect social situations we take for granted that are such minefields of dilemmas for those with more than just a hint of Aspersers. I think everyone should hear this story - I'm sure the telling of it is enhanced by Dan O'Grady's delivery - so as to be more mindful that we should celebrate those who a more literal!

Brilliant.

Sit back while Simsion takes you on a new and exciting adventure with Don and Rosie. There will be joy, heartbreak and humour. If you enjoyed the Rosie Project you will absolutely love this second book.

I loved it!

I hope there is another book planned! I'd love to hear about Hudson as a baby, and find out later if he is more like Don or Rosie!
