Welcome to the October Arafmi Book Club! Each month we choose a book to read and then discuss via Zoom. It’s a great way to connect with others and also read some books that you may or may not have considered before.

The next book we will be reading is The Rosie Project by Australian author, Graeme Simsion. Written in 2013, the book is an international bestseller with over 3 million copies sold worldwide. Simsion has followed this up with two more instalments – The Rosie Effect and The Rosie Result.
 

Don Tillman is getting married. He just doesn’t know who to yet. 

But he has designed the Wife Project, using a sixteen-page questionnaire to help him 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 also fiery and intelligent and beautiful. And on a quest of her own to find her biological father—a search that Don, a professor of genetics, might just be able to help her with. 

The Wife Project teaches Don some unexpected things. Why earlobe length is an inadequate predictor of sexual attraction. Why quick-dry clothes aren’t appropriate attire in New York. Why he’s never been on a second date. And why, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love: love finds you.
