Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus *Hardcover, Book of the Month edition. New, with some wrinkles to back dustjacket. * "Meet Elizabeth Zott: a gifted research chemist, absurdly self-assured and immune to social convention in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show". "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. 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. But as it turns out, she isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo." *A 'best book of the year' (in 2022) pick many times over, now with a TV adaptation starring Brie Larson. *If you're building up a To Be Read pile for the cold months ahead and: want to go back in time, love a book with a long timeline, have a thing for book-to-TV adaptation pairings, or love books with women in STEM, this could be your book!
