Lessons in Chemistry

Reviews

A book that sparks joy with every page. LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY is both funny and rousing: it had me laughing one minute and air-punching the next. Bonnie Garmus has created an unforgettable heroine The most charming, life-enhancing novel I've read in ages. A perfect delight. It's about Elizabeth Zott, a scientist who accidentally becomes a TV cook in the early 1960s. Very strongly recommend This triumphant feminist fable, wittily observed, is teeming with vivid comic set-pieces Polished, funny, thought-provoking. Wearing its research lightly but confidently with sentences so stylishly turned it's hard to believe it's a debut ... The real pleasure is in the dry wit of Garmus's writing Not only is Elizabeth an unforgettable character, so too are her adorable dog Six Thirty and daughter, Mad. This is a truly unique book with some great life lessons It's the world versus Elizabeth Zott, an extraordinary woman determined to live on her own terms, and I had no trouble choosing a side. Lessons in Chemistry is a page-turning and highly satisfying tale: zippy, zesty, and Zotty Full of humour, heartbreak and characters who feel like real people. This is a book that everyone will be talking about I haven't loved a character as much as the hero of this joyful, warm debut in a very long time Absolutely unputdownable. I completely loved it A transporting read, recommended for fans of Where'd You Go, Bernadette and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Expand reviews
