The Rosie Effect is the wonderfully charming and hilarious sequel to Graeme Simsion's bestselling debut novel The Rosie Project.

Praise for Graeme Simsion:
"Marvellous. Don Tillman is as awkward and confusing a narrator as he is lovable and charming". (John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas).

"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).

Graeme Simsion is a full-time writer. Previously an IT consultant and educator, he wrote his first book in 1994 (the standard reference on data modelling, now entering its fourth edition), and is married to Anne, a professor of psychiatry who writes erotic fiction. They have two children.

Review:

Wholly absorbing. Leaves you pining to be reunited with its characters every time you put it down - if you're able to (Independent)

Don Tillman is the protagonist who keeps on giving. He is a gem, an empirical laser trained on human shortcomings, especially male ones, and even more especially his own. He is also utterly charming in his lack of guile and his belief in improvability . . . blissfully comic (Evening Standard)

Simsion is very smart at negotiating the line between a satire of the whole modern baby-rearing neurosis and drawing intriguing characters . . . this book is an intelligent piece of fun (The Times)

Offers plenty more laugh-out-loud moments (Guardian)

Touching and entertaining (Mail on Sunday)

Quirky and sweetly funny, you will want to join the Don Tillman fan club all over again (Sun on Sunday)

Genuinely heartwarming, truly endearing, plenty of LOLs. You may end up a blubbing wreck (Heat)

There is much to love in this comedy of errors (Sunday Express)

If you loved The Rosie Project, I don't see how you could fail to love this funny, poignant sparkler of a novel too (Woman & Home)

Equally heart-warming and hilarious (Good Housekeeping)
