Bonnie Garmus is an American novelist. Her debut novel, »Lessons in Chemistry«, is among the most widely read novels in Germany in the past ten years. A global bestseller, it was named by New York Times readers as one of the top 100 books of the 21st century and has been honoured with sixteen international literary awards, including the British Book Awards Author of the Year, Waterstones Author of the Year, Hay Festival's Book of the Year, and Lieblingsbuch der Unabhängigen. Translated into forty-four languages, the novel has been adapted for the screen for Apple TV, and was selected by Queen Camilla for The Queen’s Reading Room—an honour bestowed on only a small number of authors. »Peck & Peck« is her second novel.
