65 - with Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry and international phenomenon

My guest on this episode of the Egg Talks To…podcast is Bonnie Garmus, whose debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry was published in April 2022 and has since become an international best seller. It’s been praised not only by readers and literary critics around the world but also by professors in chemistry!

I had a really interesting conversation with Bonnie online from her home in London. She is such a busy person, she works with 40 publishers around the world and does all the promotion, touring etc that goes with that. She tells me about how she was spurred into action to write the book when something happened to her in her professional life that I think a lot of us can identify with.

This book has quite literally had a life-changing impact for some people who have read it and I really love the great wisdom and insight she shares when it comes to dealing with rejection and setbacks.
I had posted that I was going to interview Bonnie and asked the Egg community for questions in advance so it was great to receive a plethora of different questions and topics to cover with her. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
