Graeme Simsion had never heard of a book club when he set out to write his first novel two years ago. But, thanks to the prodigious success of said novel, he knows a lot about them now. The Rosie Project, published last year, has rapidly become one of the most discussed and widely loved books in Australia – and rapidly, the English-speaking literary world – if only because it is, at its core, a warm and life-affirming romance. It is also a rumination on human connections, on what it means to be out of kilter with everyone around you, and overlooking one's prejudices, all in the name of love.
