Literary Lunch with Graeme Simsion Set for Glen Street Theatre, 31 October

The Rosie Project was an international publishing phenomenon, with more than a million copies sold in over forty countries around the world. Author Graeme Simsion will discuss the highly anticipated sequel, The Rosie Effect, at Glen Street Theatre on Friday 31 October.

The Rosie Effect is a charming and hilarious romantic comedy. Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are now married and living in New York. Don has been teaching at Columbia while Rosie completes her first year of a psychology degree. Just as Don is about to announce that Gene, his philandering best friend from Australia, is coming to stay, Rosie drops a bombshell: she's pregnant.

In true Tillman style, Don instantly becomes an expert on all things obstetric. But in between immersing himself in a new research study on parenting and implementing the Standardised Meal System (pregnancy version), Don's old weaknesses resurface. And while he strives to get the technicalities right, he gets the emotions all wrong, and risks losing Rosie when she needs him most.
