Lessons in Chemistry
Written by  Bonnie Garmus.

'Your ability to change everything - including yourself -
starts here' ELIZABETH ZOTT


Set in 1960s California; Lessons In Chemistry is the brilliant
 idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose
career is derailed by the idea that a woman's place is
in the home - something she most definitely does not believe
- only to find herself the star of America's
best-loved TV cooking show.


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 1960s, and despite the fact that she
is a scientist, her male peers are very unscientific
when it comes to equality. The only good thing to happen
on her road to professional fulfilment is a run-in
with famous colleague Calvin Evans, legend and Nobel
nominee. He's also awkward, kind and tenacious.
Theirs is true chemistry.

But life is never predictable and three years
later Elizabeth Zott is an unwed, single mother and star
of America's best loved cooking show Supper at Six.
Her singular approach to cooking - 'take one pint of H2O
and add a pinch of sodium chloride' - and empowering
message prove revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't
just teaching housewives how to cook, but how
to change their lives.
