Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel

Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel by Bonnie Garmus

Meet Elizabeth Zott. She is not your average woman — but then, it’s not your average novel. Set in early 1960s California, Lessons in Chemistry is the wickedly funny, fiercely feminist, and utterly irresistible debut novel from Bonnie Garmus that took the world by storm and became one of the most celebrated books of the decade.

Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant chemist in an era when women are expected to want nothing more than marriage and motherhood. Undeterred by the sexism of her male colleagues, she is laser-focused on her research — until an unplanned pregnancy and the tragic death of her partner derail her career and leave her a single mother. Desperate for income, she finds herself hosting a cooking show called Supper at Six. But Elizabeth refuses to dumb herself down. She treats her audience of housewives as the intelligent women they are, teaching them chemistry through cooking — and in doing so, accidentally ignites a feminist revolution.

Laugh-out-loud funny, razor-sharp, and deeply moving, Lessons in Chemistry is a triumphant story about a woman who refuses to be underestimated — and the unexpected ways one person can change the world.
