\"rosie<\/a><\/strong>One of the biggest releases of 2019, Graeme Simsion’s third and final Rosie book is hitting shelves very soon. Here are five essential things you need to know about The Rosie Result<\/em>!<\/p>\n

1. There\u2019s another chronological leap forward in the lives of Rosie and Don.<\/p>\n

The Rosie Effect<\/em> was concerned with Rosie\u2019s pregnancy with their first child after the couple relocates to New York. Now, more than a decade later, that first child – Hudson – is eleven years old and much more of a handful than either parent could have anticipated.<\/p>\n

2. We\u2019re going back to Melbourne, Baby!
\n<\/strong>
\nReaders will delight in seeing Don, Rosie, and young Hudson return to the familiar setting of Melbourne. Although it\u2019s not easy to uproot one\u2019s family and relocate, particularly with an eleven-year-old, you cannot but admire Don and Rosie\u2019s decision to make this happen – putting Rosie\u2019s career ambitions ahead of Don\u2019s. Plus, whether locally or intercontinentally, expect to see a host of your favourite characters from the series make an appearance in this final episode.<\/p>\n

3. From Rosie Project to Hudson Project<\/strong>
\nSimison has been unafraid to take this novel beyond the confines of standard romance. The Rosie Result<\/em> is much more a novel about familial love than it is about the romantic.You can still expect the feel-good moments and rom-com giggles of the Rosie Project and Rosie Effect but you\u2019re going to get something more here too.<\/p>\n

A great deal of the action is centered around Hudson\u2019s difficulties at school and Don\u2019s one-of-a-kind approach to helping him out. Don will journey back to his childhood home in Shepperton to spend time with his aging father, re-evaluating their relationship and his father\u2019s choices in handling Don\u2019s atypical mind and difficulties fitting in as a child. Hudson is not only a brilliant mind but a wonderfully constructed and complex character in his own right. In this novel, he\u2019ll challenge both Don and Rosie in remarkable ways.<\/p>\n

4. The \u201cA\u201d word<\/strong>
\nIn The Rosie Result<\/em>, Graeme Simsion charges the reader head-first into the social politics of Autism today, asking hard questions about the manner we approach the subject from the perspectives of parents, educators, spouses and autistic people. Of course a message of acceptance and celebrating difference prevails but how to best navigate this is a challenge to the reader. While heartily readable, light and uplifting, this book will leave you to ruminate over a particularly prickly question – is it best practice to give the \u201ccorrect\u201d labels to our differences, even in the very young, or do we condemn those at an incredibly vulnerable stage of life to forever be seen, and to see themselves, through the prism of disability?<\/p>\n

5) Don accidentally embroils himself in a campus racism scandal and opens his own cocktail bar.<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ll leave that one with you. Happy reading!<\/p>\n

The Rosie Result is out on February 5th 2019 from Text Publishing. Order your copy today.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
