Zoe, Künstlerin und Yoga-Expertin, flüchtet aus Kalifornien nach Frankreich. Martin, Technikfreak aus England, will den von ihm entwickelten Wanderkarren für Rückengeschädigte einem Praxistest unterziehen. Als sie sich auf dem Jakobsweg begegnen, sind sie erst mal ganz schön genervt voneinander. Aber schräge Reisegefährten, Wetter- und Seelenkatastrophen und die Kapriolen des Wanderkarrens schweißen zusammen. Werden Martin und Zoe, grundverschieden wie sie sind, auf dem Camino einen gemeinsamen Weg finden? Ein Hörbuch über Neuanfang und Sinnsuche, übers Wandern und Zu-sich-selbst-Finden und darüber, wie wir mit einem Lächeln Erfüllung finden. Christiane Marx und Oliver Kube sind Schauspieler, Hörbuchsprecher und auch im wirklichen Leben ein Paar. Auf dem Jakobsweg waren sie allerdings noch nicht unterwegs. Bisher.

Two Steps Forward: A Novel

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.

Until twelve 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 4,380 days of marriage, Don's life-contentment graph, recently at its highest point, is curving downwards. Rosie has just returned to work and is struggling with an obnoxious co-worker. Don, meanwhile, is in hot water after his latest lecture goes viral. But their real worry is their son, Hudson, who is having trouble at school: his teachers say he isn't fitting in with the other kids. For Don, learning to be a good parent as well as a good partner will require the help of friends old and new.

The Rosie Project: Don Tillman 1

The downloadable, audiobook edition of Graeme Simsion's prize-winning romantic comedy The Rosie Project, read by the actor Dan O'Grady. Meet Don. Don is a genetics professor who just might be somewhere on the autistic spectrum. He looks a little like Gregory Peck and is getting married. He just doesn't know who to yet. But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman. And it's definitely not Rosie. Absolutely, completely, definitely not. Rosie, meanwhile, isn't looking for love; she's looking for her biological father. Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...

The Rosie Project

“I am thirty-nine years old; single, intelligent, fit, in excellent health and I have a relatively high status and above-average income as an associate professor. Logically, I should be attractive to a wide range of women. In the animal kingdom, I would succeed in reproducing. However, there is something about me that women find unappealing. I have never found it easy to make friends, and it seems that the deficiencies that caused this problem have also affected my attempts at romantic relationships. The Apricot Ice-cream Disaster is a good example.” These are the words of Don Tillman, an odd, charming, highly successful Professor of Genetics, whose long history of ‘not fitting in’ has convinced him that he is not wired for romance. But at weekly dinners with his elderly neighbor and valued new friend, Daphne (Don can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand), she convinces him to re-evaluate his prospects. And so, in the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he embarks upon The Wife Project, designing a questionnaire to help him find the perfect partner: a punctual, non-drinking, non-smoking female who will fit in with his regimented lifestyle. When Rosie appears on the scene, it is clear that she fits none of his selection criteria: a spontaneous, outspoken barmaid who smokes and curses, and simply adjusts the time on Don’s clock when he complains that they have fallen off his carefully planned schedule. Yet an unlikely partnership blooms when Don agrees to help Rosie search for her biological father. As Rosie pushes Don out of his comfort zone again and again, he finds to his surprise that he may be having fun. But can a real relationship take root if Don isn’t wired to feel emotion like everyone else? Graeme Simsion’s moving and comic novel, sustained by a remarkable narrative voice, takes the reader on an immensely satisfying journey as Don seeks to see more within himself than he ever thought was possible.

Projekt Rosie

En riktigt charmig och originell feelgood-roman! Don Tillman är 39 år gammal och ska gifta sig. Han vet bara inte med vem än. Han ser bra ut men har aldrig riktigt passat in i några sociala sammanhang och har svårt att få kontakt med kvinnor. Men som den strukturerade forskare Don är utformar han Projekt fru - ett mycket grundligt frågeformulär - som ska hjälpa honom att hitta den perfekta partnern. Hon får absolut inte röka, dricka, ogilla kött, komma försent eller rubba hans inrutade liv. Rosie Jarman gör allt detta. Hon är även spontan, smart och snygg, jobbar som bartender och vänder upp och ner på hela Dons tillvaro. Eftersom han är professor i genetik kan han hjälpa henne i sökandet efter hennes biologiska pappa. Och ju mer Don engagerar sig i Rosies jakt, desto mer börjar han släppa på sina strikta rutiner. Hon drar ut honom ur hans trygga men trista tillvaro och han börjar förstå att man inte kan hitta kärleken med hjälp av vetenskapliga tester. Projekt Rosie är en charmig romantisk komedi, en annorlunda och tänkvärd feel good-roman som visar att alla kan möta kärleken, hur udda man än är.
