The Rosie Project

Slight foxing. Some shelfwear and fading to jacket.

Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. Then a chance encounter gives him an idea. He will design a questionnaire--a sixteen-page, scientifically researched document--to find the perfect partner. She will most definitely not be a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker or a late-arriver.
Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is strangely beguiling, fiery and intelligent. And she is also on a quest of her own. She?s looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might just be able to help her with--even if he does wear quick-dry clothes and eat lobster every single Tuesday night.
