BOOK REVIEW: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Have you ever started watching an expensive drama series and then drifted away around the third episode? Writers often cram so much into the start to get you hooked but then have to pad out the story to fill their contracted 10 episodes.
I started to watch the Apple TV series of Lessons in Chemistry and got through three episodes. The memory of the show has faded now, drifted away like clouds across a windy sky. There is not a scene or plot point I can honestly recall.
However, the original book by Bonnie Garmus is a different proposition. It has hit me hard and stayed with me. It has opened conversations, made me laugh and confirmed my view that rowers love to talk about rowing. All The Time. I know this because my wife is a competitive rower.
