Listened to the audio book as I needed some light, brain off material. This is about a female chemist in the 50s who ends up becoming a TV chef. The first third was simplistic but had a warm kind of charm so I persisted. By the end I resented it. 

Heavy handed, boorishly didactic messaging about the role of women in the 1950s. Felt like a soap opera at its conclusion: two dimensional characters, chance encounters, surprise reveals of mysterious family members, every evil doer getting his comeuppance... 

Pretty tedious, trite way to explore what could have been an interesting subject. At last I got the brain off listen I wanted!
