Bonnie Garmus: Lessons in Chemistry
(Second Event: Matinee Appearance) - SOLD OUT
Due to what can only be described as frenzied demand, the phenomenal Bonnie Garmus and Frances Whiting have cooked up an encore performance for those of you who missed out on tickets to our first Lessons in Chemistry event!
A crackling cocktail of mordant wit and potent social commentary, Lessons offers a drily comic glimpse into the lives of overlooked women and has captivated readers worldwide. Following a chemist turned celebrity chef who hijacks her primetime television spot to deliver acerbic feminist subversion, Lessons is bitingly imaginative, a novel as thought-provoking as it is delightful.
We promised you our first event would sell out, and it did (in 24 hours) so make sure you buy tickets now to secure your spot at the matinee.
