«Me llamo Don Tillman, tengo treinta y nueve años y soy profesor adjunto de Genética en la Universidad de Melbourne. Mi trabajo está bien remunerado, me alimento de forma equilibrada y regular, y mi condición física es óptima. En el reino animal, no tendría ninguna dificultad para aparearme, pero en el humano, nunca he logrado tener una segunda cita con la misma mujer.

Don Tillman ist hochintelligent, sportlich, erfolgreich – und er will heiraten. Allerdings findet er menschliche Beziehungen oft höchst verwirrend und irrational. Was tun? Don entwickelt das Ehefrau-Projekt: mit einem 16-seitigen Fragebogen will er auf wissenschaftlich exakte Weise die ideale Frau finden. Also keine, die raucht, trinkt, unpünktlich oder Veganerin ist. Und dann kommt Rosie. Unpünktlich, Barkeeperin, Raucherin.

Emily was an aspiring literary writer, forced to make a living from editing annual reports, when she met Scott, a screenwriter in similar circumstances. With Scott’s punchy plot and Emily’s luminous prose, they crafted an international hit - and fell in love doing it. Three years later, Scott’s own novel has flopped, Emily’s struggling with her literary manuscript, and their relationship is falling apart. Can they overcome their creative differences to produce another masterpiece?

Three years after life got in the way of their long-distance relationship, Californian illustrator Zoe and English engineer Martin have an unexpected opportunity to reunite: a second chance to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims in Europe. This time, they won’t be walking the famous Camino de Santiago to north-west Spain but the less-travelled Chemin d’Assise and Via Francigena to Rome, the mountainous path down from rural France.

Don Tillman är 39 år gammal och ska gifta sig. Han vet bara inte med vem än. Han ser bra ut men har aldrig riktigt passat in i några sociala sammanhang och har svårt att få kontakt med kvinnor. Men som den strukturerade forskare Don är utformar han Projekt Fru - ett mycket grundligt frågeformulär - som ska hjälpa honom att hitta den perfekta partnern. Hon får absolut inte röka, dricka, ogilla kött, komma försent eller rubba hans inrutade liv.

Don Tillmans "Projekt Ehefrau" ist erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Er lebt mit Rosie in New York. Und Rosie ist schwanger. Don will natürlich der brillanteste werdende Vater aller Zeiten sein, stürzt sich in die Forschung und entwickelt einen wissenschaftlich exakten Ernährungs-Zeitplan für Rosie. Doch seine ungewöhnlichen Recherchemethoden führen erstmal dazu, dass er verhaftet wird. Was Rosie auf keinen Fall erfahren darf.

Zoe, a sometime artist from California, has recently lost her husband. Martin, an engineer from Yorkshire, is alone after a messy divorce. Both have ended up in Cluny, central France, on a separate journey to walk the Camino: 2,000 kilometres to Santiago, in northwestern Spain. The Camino changes you, it's said. It's a chance to find a new version of yourself. But can these two very different people find each other?

Hudson, der Sohn von Don und Rosie, ist elf und hat Probleme in der Schule. Er ist schlau, gilt aber als schwieriger Besserwisser, den keiner mag. Doch zum Glück weiß Don Rat: In dieser Frage ist er Experte, denn er hat schon sein ganzes Leben lang erfahren, was es heißt, Außenseiter zu sein. Und jetzt wird er Hudson seine Lösungen beibringen. In seinem Eifer zu helfen sorgt Don für einiges Chaos. Und Hudson hat durchaus eigene Ideen, was ihm guttun könnte. Ein bewegender Familienroman, der unter anderem die Frage stellt: Wie offen bin ich für Menschen, die anders sind?
