Lessons In Chemistry (Paperback)

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. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take 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. Meet the unconventional, uncompromising Elizabeth Zott.

It get better

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 | Review by: Kathy L.

This book improves as it progresses. In the first third or so there is a huge amount of telling and no showing - of characters, theme and even plot. I felt lectured and proselytised at, about things I already know. The characters felt remote and hard to relate to ,even though their experience is very familiar and enraging. The journalist in Bonnie Garmus was still in the foreground. But from around the halfway mark, the writing style warms up and there's more showing and less telling. I began to get a felt sense of the people. I haven't finished it yet, but I certainly will and now I look forward to reading it.
