Story
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant Nobel-prize-nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved killings.

The four friends, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron, might be octogenarians, but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it's too late?

Story
A romantic comedy from Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project, and his wife, Anne Buist. Two misfits walk 2000 km along the pilgrims' way in Spain to find themselves and, perhaps, each other. Zoe, a sometime artist, is from California. Martin, an engineer, is from Yorkshire. Both have ended up in picturesque Cluny, in central France. Both are struggling to come to terms with their recent past - for Zoe, the death of her husband; for Martin, a messy divorce.

For as long as anyone can remember, Britt-Marie has been an acquired taste. It's not that she's judgmental or fussy or difficult - she just expects things to be done in a certain way. A cutlery drawer should be arranged in the right order, for example - forks, knives, then spoons. We're not animals, are we? But behind the passive-aggressive, socially awkward, absurdly pedantic busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams and a warmer heart than anyone around her realises.

From the early stages of childhood development, a child learns from adults about boundaries and self-expression. When a child is bullied in all ways, as well as sexually, their view of the world becomes distorted. At age four, those boundaries were cast aside and thus my view of relationships, women, and sex was forever altered. It set the scene for later life where I had multiple relationships, cybersex, experiences with promiscuous women.

"OUTSTANDING"
- By lady em on 17-08-22
Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion, read by Dan O'Grady.
The Rosie Result is the triumphant final instalment of the internationally best-selling series that began with The Rosie Project.
Until 12 years ago, geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date. Then he developed The Wife Project and met Rosie, 'the world's most incompatible woman'. Now, having survived 4,380 days of marriage, Don's life-contentment graph, recently at its highest point, is curving downwards.
Rosie has just returned to work and is struggling with an obnoxious co-worker. Don, meanwhile, is in hot water after his latest lecture goes viral. But their real worry is their son, Hudson, who is having trouble at school: his teachers say he isn't fitting in with the other kids.
For Don, learning to be a good parent as well as a good partner will require the help of friends old and new. It will mean letting Hudson make his way in the world, and grappling with difficult truths about his own identity.
It will also mean opening a cocktail bar.
Hilarious and thought-provoking, with a brilliant cast of characters, The Rosie Result will have readers cheering for joy.
Critic reviews

A fitting finale to a wonderful trilogy
I started listening to The Rosie Project a few years ago, then The Rosie Effect and now obviously The Rosie Result. Sometimes when a trilogy spans a few years something gets lost but not with the Rosie books. Each one is brilliant in it's own right and The Rosie Result caps off this trilogy perfectly.
Dan O'Grady's narration over all the characters is spot on through all the books and he gives such life to the cast that parade through these wonderful books.
The Rosie Result is a fitting end but I will miss Don, Rosie, Hudson and the rest of the characters immensely.

Wonderful!
I loved this as much as the earlier books in the series ‘The Rosie Project’ and ‘The Rosie Effect’. They are all beautifully and intelligently written. The characters are richly drawn. Surely, everyone will love Don. I think it’s important to read the series in order where possible.
Enjoy!

A lovely finale to the trilogy
I loved this book, I re-read the first two before this one to remind me of their content. This book is lovely, I am a little surprised about the thoughts of negativity about autism (not from the author) shown to be public opinion, but realise that there may be differences in Australian perception versus that in the UK.
Graeme Simsion writes so well, and I loved his characters, and their inter- reactions. A lovely set of books that I will read again.

Maybe this was even better than the Rosie Project!
Having loved the Rosie Project so much, I was a bit disappointed with the Rosie Effect. Felt that maybe it came too quickly, and didn't have that thoughtfulness of character and humour in it that I had enjoyed so much in the Rosie Project. But with the Rosie Result, Graeme Simsion is back on form. Funny, well written, a strong new character in Hudson and thought provoking. Thank you Graeme.

The listen had felt like an empathy exercise. The characters created by the brilliant Grame Simson are lovely and unique. They solve loads of problems (technical and interpersonal) and take care of one another in the quirkiest and most lovable ways.
