Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel
“Chemistry is change and change is the core of your belief system. Which is good because that’s what we need more of: people who refuse to accept the status quo.”
Elizabeth Zott is not your average 1960s housewife. She’s a brilliant chemist whose life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the reluctant star of a beloved cooking show and uses it to teach far more than recipes.
Witty, sharp, and full of heart, Lessons in Chemistry is a feminist novel disguised as entertainment. It challenges societal norms with humor and rage, all while delivering a heroine you can’t help but root for.
