Coronado Public Library, in partnership with Warwick's bookstore, will host Bonnie Garmus as she discusses and signs her #1 New York Times bestselling book, "Lessons in Chemistry" with Jane Mitchell, 28-time Emmy Award winning broadcast journalist and local Coronado resident. This event is free and open to the public but a ticket is required. Free seating is first-come, first-served. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of "Lessons in Chemistry" through Warwick's bookstore. To obtain a free open-seating ticket, or a reserved seat with purchase of a signed copy of the book, please visit https://www.warwicks.com/event/garmus-2023 or call the store at 858-454-0347. Bonnie Garmus is a copywriter and creative director who has worked widely in the fields of technology, medicine, and education. She's an open-water swimmer, a rower, and mother to two pretty amazing daughters. Born in California and most recently from Seattle, she currently lives in London with her husband and her dog, 99. "Lessons in Chemistry": Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with - of all things - her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ("combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride") proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.
