The book explores the theme of Asperger’s
Syndrome in a light-hearted way. Don
Tilman is thirty-nine and a professor of genetics at a university in Melbourne.
He is aware that his brain is wired differently from most people. He struggles in social situations and has
to plan every minute of his day to a strict timetable. If, on occasion, he has to deviate from his timetable it causes him lots
of stress. He has heard that men live
longer if they are married so he compiles the wife project, a scientific test
to find his perfect partner. Then in
walks Rosie and his structured life is thrown into chaos. Rosie enlists Don’s help to find her real
father and together they embark on the father project. The story is told from the
point of view of Don and, seeing the world through his eyes, made for an
interesting read.
