Bonnie Garmus

Bestselling Author

In April 2022, Bonnie Garmus’ debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry, was published with huge, resounding success, and occupied a spot on the NYT Bestseller list for over 85 weeks. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling case of supporting characters, Bonnie Garmus says Elizabeth Zotts’ character acts as a catalyst. “She’s actively breaking and creating new bonds. And that is chemistry at its most basic.” “Lessons in Chemistry” has been translated into 42 languages, sold over six million copies and was adapted into an Apple TV miniseries. It was named 2022 Best Book of the Year by Amazon, The Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Elle, and Entertainment Weekly.
Bonnie is an open water swimmer, a rower, and mother to two amazing daughters. Most recently from Seattle, she currently lives in London with her husband and her dog, 99.

“Lessons in Chemistry is that rare beast; a polished, funny, thought-provoking story – with sentences so stylishly turned its hard to believe it’s a debut.” – – The Guardian
