He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a "wonderful" husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. He sets up a project designed to find him the perfect wife, starting with a questionnaire that has to be adjusted a little as he goes along. She will be punctual and logical, most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver. Then he meets Rosie Jarman, who is everything he's not looking for in a wife. Rosie is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent, and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie, and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper 586 $a October LibraryReads List, 2013 650 0 $a College teachers $z Australia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Genetics $x Research $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marriage $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Colleges and universities $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Family life $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Identity $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Father and child $v Fiction. 650 7 $a College teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868114 650 7 $a Genetics $x Research. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940133 650 7 $a Marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010443 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 600 17 $a Andrae, A. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)156400294 600 17 $a Englisch, ... $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)138518394 650 7 $a College teachers $z Australia $x Faculty $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Genetics $x Research $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Marriage $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Romance fiction. 655 4 $a Cuentos de amor. 655 4 $a Love stories. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921732 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 $n 1 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20210615120710.0 $n 12 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20210614150827.0 $n 10 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210603112815.0 $n 7 $p +LP+CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30436EA6AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
