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, & only Art can see it. The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, . ..

(Paperback)

How did the most ordinary of couples pull off one of the most outrageous frauds of modern times? And why did they carry on with the lie for so long?

Journalist David Leigh was despatched to Panama, where he tracked down John's wife, Anne Darwin,
who had started a secretive new life with the insurance money claimed from her husband's 'death'. But what lay behind her decision to move to Central America, thousands of miles away from her family and...
