I was standing on one leg shucking oysters when the problems began
Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are back in Australia after a decade in New York, and theyre about to face their most important challenge. Their son, Hudson, is struggling at school: hes socially awkward and not fitting in. Dons spent a lifetime trying to fit inso who better to teach Hudson the skills he needs
Meanwhile, there are multiple distractions to deal with: the Genetics Lecture Outrage, Rosies troubles at work, estrangement from his best friend GeneAnd opening the worlds best cocktail bar.
Hilarious and thought-provoking, with a brilliant cast of characters, The Rosie Result is the triumphant final instalment of the much-loved and internationally bestselling Rosie trilogy.
Don Tillman and Rose Jarman are fictions most unlikely couple but Graeme Simsions skills with dialogue and tone make them, and their relationship, (just) believable. Hudson, too, is uncomfortably believable. Simsion has mighty intellectual confidence but behind all the steady wit, the rolling jokes, the faux innocence and the cocktail instruction, this is a thoughtful and provocative novel [with] a grand design that will have relevance in the lives of many individual readers...Accomplished novel, mission accomplished. -- Helen Elliott * Age *
