Description

A story of two siblings, a brother and sister, who look out for one another and have only got each other after the untimely demise of both their parents.

During your commute: If you take public transportation or have a long commute, you may find it helpful to use that time to read.Do you think Art’s initial concerns about Frank were well-founded? Or was he reaching for reasons to reject Frank? Mantle has pre-empted The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything, an “extraordinary” novel by Kara Gnodde, to be published as its lead début fiction title for 2023.

Now in their thirties, Mimi braves opening up and saying she wants to look for love. Art agrees - if she in turn will agree to follow a mathematical formula for finding someone suitable. As we can all guess, love and formulae are not likely to go hand in hand, and Mimi meets Frank outside of her brother's agreed schedule, setting and sums. She remembers last time—sitting on the corner of the coffee table, staring at a dry-cleaning tag that her mother had left on the rug. Her brother Art was talking. The police officers had gone. Meet Art and Mimi Brotherton. Devoted siblings and housemates, they’re bound together by the tragic death of their parents. Mathematical genius Art relies on logic, while Mimi prefers to follow her heart. But in Art’s rigidly safe view of the world, romance is definitely something that marches to the beat of an algorithmic drum and when Mimi, chafing at the close bond she shares with Art – while simultaneously uncertain what she would do without it since it is just her and Art against the world, family-wise at least; she at least has her bestie Rey, an old family friend while her brother has his doctoral assistant Ernest for support – decides she’d like to find love, Art the 0s and 1s Cupid springs into action.Those who like quirky family stories will really enjoy this. The blurb references ‘Eleanor Oliphant’. The writing isn’t quite as nuanced, but it is still good. It does flip perspectives a fair bit between the two main characters. But it didn’t take me too long to get used to it. As an infrequent reader of book-club fiction, I am immensely glad that I read “The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything”. Debut author Kara Gnodde delivers an emotional, quirky and creative plot with “ The Rosie Project” and “ The Maid” vibes, with characters that are just as likable and honest. She me

Devoted siblings and housemates, they’re bound together by the tragic death of their parents. They agree on not quite everything. The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything is such a special novel. Tender, unique and uplifting, it explores sibling love, romantic love and the love between friends. Such an accomplished debut.” — Beth O’Leary, internationally bestselling author of The Flatshare and The No-Show How do I describe this book? It’s difficult as it is hard to categorise but all I can say is that it really touched me and I just loved the characters, the plot and all the twists. The sight stuns Mimi. Fluorescent lights intensify the daze. She feels her middle lift, as though she’s watching a diorama of the scene from above. What qualities make Mimi so well-suited to being a foley artist? What does her success in that field reveal about her as a character?

Art and Mimi Brotherton are siblings and housemates. Since their parents tragically died they have been there for each other. Art is a mathematical genius - probably on the spectrum - and Mimi has devoted herself to looking after him. He shines academically whilst she hides her light under the domestic bushel. The driver called an ambulance and spoke to police at the scene. “I’m so sorry, Miss Brotherton, I know this is difficult. Is there anyone you’d like us to call?” The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, intelligent and uplifting novel about brothers and sisters, Artie,” she says. She wills his body for a sign. But his arms lie flaccid; no hand signals, no blinks. He isn’t going to flash his eyes open or tap out a hello with his index finger.
