Lessons in Chemistry
by Bonnie Garmus
“Chemistry is change.”
Lessons in Chemistry is an absolute must-read. It is set in the period between 1950s and 1960s and follows the story of Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant scientist who finds herself single, pregnant and out of job. When an opportunity presents itself, Elizabeth takes an offer to host a cooking tv show — but, believe me, this short summary is just the tip of the iceberg.
I’ve heard they’re already developing Apple TV series but reading this book is pretty much like watching it play out on your mind screen. It is full of colour, humour, sadness, oddness, genius... chemistry. Bonnie Garmus has done an incredible job. I loved everything about this book: the characters (Elizabeth and Six-Thirty, and their bond in particular), the way the story’s told, the setting and plot twists. Six-Thirty stole the spotlight numerous times. I especially appreciate the role and the voice the author has given him.
I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll end with this: Lessons in Chemistry deserves all the praise it gets. I can’t recommend it enough.
