When Bonnie Garmus learned to row, she was intrigued “by the skinny boat, the long oars, and how ‘easy’ and graceful it looked.” She was a competitive masters rower for years before an offhand comment during a business meeting prompted her to begin writing her first novel, ”Lessons in Chemistry,” which has been adapted into a hit Apple TV+ series.
Everyone wants to talk with Bonnie about the book’s main character, Elizabeth Zott, but we turn the tables to ask Bonnie about the role rowing plays in her life – and her book – which has been on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly 100 weeks.
