Come and meet the force behind the amazing, runaway bestseller Lessons in Chemistry!
Bonnie Garmus is a bestselling author, a copywriter and a creative director who has worked widely in the fields of technology, medicine, and education. She’s an open-water swimmer, a rower, and mother to two pretty amazing daughters.
Lessons in Chemistry is set in the 1950’s and ’60’s and features a main character who is a feminist and modern thinker, in a world nowhere ready for her mind, character or ambition…Elizabeth Zott will take her place alongside the indelible characters of Maria Semple’s Where’d You Go, Bernadette; Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine; and Graeme Simsion’s The Rosie Project.
Sold in record-breaking auctions in thirty-four countries (and counting!), Lessons in Chemistry sparked ferocious bidding wars among U.S. and international publishers alike before it was published by Doubleday last year. It went on to become A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, and Newsweek, among others.
Brie Larson will star in and executive produce a drama series based on the book for Apple TV+, with Susannah Grant (nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay of Erin Brockovich) slated to write. |
