The Rosie Effect

LoveReading Says

The simplicity of the writing here has a magical quality that carries you effortlessly from page to page.  If you have not met Don Tillman, Professor of Genetics in The Rosie Project then you are in for a treat and I do believe this book will be your favourite.  If you have read the first then the freshness of Don’s voice will be familiar to you and so not as much of a delight as the first was.  Now Don and Rosie are married and living in New York expecting their first baby.  Expecting is the wrong word for Bud (baby under development) was not expected, it is a complete surprise to Don, not planned and therefore difficult to accept.  The book is about whether he and Rosie feel he will make a suitable father.  It’s absolutely beautiful.  A charming exploration of human foibles, human nature and human triumphs.
