Top Retellings of Classic Tales

Betsy Grannis asked Bonnie Garmus:

I LOVED this book - it is my new favorite book of all time, replacing 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier. I was a Chemistry major in college, hoping to be a research chemist. Instead, I became a florist; and then an innkeeper/owner of a bed and breakfast. I appreciate how you were able to handle many difficult topics in a not-too-depressing way. I don't have a question in here, do I? Can't wait for your next one! TY

Bonnie Garmus Thank you, Betsy! I'm a huge Rebecca fan, too, so your kind words mean a lot to me. I love your career path--I think changing direction is one of the smartest things people can do. There is no single solution!

I'm a little over halfway through Lessons in Chemistry, and I'm already recommending it to everyone! I sincerely love this book- thank you! (This question mark is for the question mark rule?)

Allison
Allison asked Bonnie Garmus:

I loved this novel. With her intelligence, lack of filter, and social awkwardness Elizabeth struck me as being somewhere on the spectrum. Was this your intent or just my interpretation? My son is studying chemical engineering in Boston and reports about half of his classmates are female which I find very encouraging. Thanks for sharing the stories of the women who blazed trails for us!
