You'll be willing Don and Rosie on every step of the way' Marie Claire'Original, charming and very funny' Woman & Home 'A comic triumph: clever, humane and tears-in-your-eyes funny.

I laughed the whole way through. And now I want to meet Don' Sophie KinsellaWith the charm of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the romance of David Nicholls' One Day, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is both funny and endearing - and is set to become the paperback of 2014.Graeme Simsion is a full-time writer.
