Theory of (Not Quite) Everything

Like circles of a Venn diagram, Mimi and Art Brotherton have always come as a pair. Devoted siblings, they`re bound together in their childhood home by the tragic death of their parents. Art believes that people - including his sister - are incapable of making sensible decisions when it comes to love. That’s what algorithms are for. Mimi knows that her brother is a mathematical genius. But she believes that maths isn’t the answer to everything. Not quite. Especially when it comes to love. Still, when Mimi begins her search for a soulmate, Art`s insistence that she follow a strict mathematical plan seems reasonable. The arrival of Frank, however - a romantic stargazer who is definitely not algorithm-approved - challenges the siblings` relationship to breaking point. As their equilibrium falters, Art`s mistrust of Frank grows, but so do Mimi`s feelings. Something about Frank doesn`t quite add up, and only Art can see it . . . The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, intelligent and uplifting novel about brothers and sisters, true love in all its forms, and how life is more than just a numbers game . . .
