Graeme Simsion Libros

Don Tillman, profesor de Genética, vive atrapado en una visión rígida de la realidad y nunca ha tenido una segunda cita. Consciente de que los hombres en pareja son más felices, inicia El Proyecto Esposa, creando un cuestionario de dieciséis páginas para encontrar a la mujer perfecta: puntual, sin hábitos de fumar ni beber, y que se ajuste a su vida ordenada. Sin embargo, su vida da un giro inesperado cuando conoce a Rosie Jarman, una mujer guapa y luchadora que trabaja en un bar, fuma, bebe y siempre llega tarde, lo que la convierte en la candidata ideal para ser descartada. Rosie, por su parte, busca a su padre biológico, y Don se ve arrastrado a ayudarla, rompiendo sus propias reglas. A medida que se involucra en su búsqueda, Don y Rosie se embarcan en una aventura divertida y emocionante que revela que el amor no se busca, sino que aparece cuando menos lo esperamos. La historia es hilarante y sorprendente, con un protagonista excepcional: el inteligente y obsesivo Don Tillman, quien enfrenta dificultades para navegar en un mundo emocionalmente complejo, donde las personas a menudo dicen lo contrario de lo que piensan.

Until ten years ago, geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date. Then he developed The Wife Project and met Rosie, 'the world's most incompatible woman'. Now, having survived 3,653 days of marriage, Don's life-contentment graph, recently at its highest point, is curving downwards. Don and Rosie's ten-year-old son, Hudson, is having trouble at school: his teachers say he isn't fitting in with the other kids. Rosie is battling Judas at work, and Don is in hot water after the Genetics Lecture Outrage. For Don, learning to be a good parent as well as a good partner will require the help of friends old and new. It will mean letting Hudson make his way in the world, and grappling with difficult truths about his own identity. It will also mean opening a cocktail bar.

Internationally bestselling husband-and-wife writing team, Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist return with another smart, romantic adventure set on another of Europe's incredible pilgrimages. TWO STEPS ONWARD is the wise and witty follow-up to TWO STEPS FORWARD. It's about helping the people you love, and knowing when to let go. Figuring out what you really want in life. And seizing your chances, before it's too late. Three years after life got in the way of their long-distance relationship, Californian artist Zoe and English engineer Martin have an unexpected opportunity to reunite: a second chance to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims in Europe. This time, they won't be walking the famous Camino de Santiago to north-west Spain but the less-travelled Chemin d'Assise and Via Francigena to Rome, along the mountainous paths from rural France. And rather than each setting off solo, they will accompany Zoe's old friend Camille--who, despite her life-threatening illness, insists she will walk the whole 1000 miles to seek an audience with the Pope--and her not-so-ex-husband, Gilbert, who sees the trip as a gourmet tour. Then Bernhard, Martin's young nemesis from the previous trek, shows up, along with Martin's daughter, Sarah, who is having a quarter-life crisis and doesn't exactly hit it off with Zoe...

The internationally bestselling novel from the author of The Rosie Result - two misfits walk 2,000 km along the Camino to find themselves and, perhaps, each other.
