In her first life, Bonnie Garmus came home from work frustrated a few years ago. There had been a meeting between men alone, with the typical sexism, she says in interviews today. And that that was the night she sat down and wrote the first chapter of her novel. In her second life, Seattle native Bonnie Garmus released her debut this spring in her mid-60s. And immediately landed the bestseller of the season.
