Since Don is not skilled at social interaction (he is autistic), he decides to use a questionnaire to help him weed out any unsuitable candidates. This book follows a part in the life of Don Tillman, a genetics professor who has recently decided to try and find a wife to share his life with. My review: I read this book for the Terryville Library’s Fiction Lover’s Book Discussion group discussion for this month (August). When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie―and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love, it finds you. But Don is intrigued by Rosie’s own quest to identify her biological father. Don easily disqualifies her as a candidate for The Wife Project (even if she is “quite intelligent for a barmaid”).
Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers.
The art of love is never a science: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife.
