INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH PANDORA SYKES

Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.

But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Forced to resign, she reluctantly signs on as the host of a cooking show, Supper at Six. But her revolutionary approach to cooking, fuelled by scientific and rational commentary, grabs the attention of a nation.

Soon, a legion of overlooked housewives find themselves daring to change the status quo. One molecule at a time.

Commentaires

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
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
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

Captivating story, beautifully written. Perfect voice for the recording, expressive, an ideal match. It's a shame there are sound/volume alterations when the different recordings were put together.

Amazing book

Beautifully written, I wasn’t expecting some of the darker parts but it made sense given the time period and made it feel a lot more authentic. A hard look at a woman’s life in the 50s. What I found the most heart-warming is Elizabeth’s genuine interest in people and women and her desire to make the world a better place. Very good read I buzzed right through
