#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GMA BOOK CLUB PICK

Meet Elizabeth Zott: “a gifted research chemist, absurdly self-assured and immune to social convention” (The Washington Post) in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show.

• APPLE TV+ SERIES COMING LATER THIS YEAR

This novel is “irresistible, satisfying and full of fuel” (The New York Times Book Review) and “witty, sometimes hilarious...the Catch-22 of early feminism” (Stephen King, via Twitter).

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek.

**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 as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show _Supper at Six_. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary.

But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.

Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, _Lessons in Chemistry_ is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.

[a chill library tour](https://mareas.binderybooks.com/item/ct0i7nJe0EzWf5VowIFV/)

A quick little tour through my current collection. It gets a little shaky at points but hopefully I don't make anyone dizzy.

Also, now I'm like... wait... what else can I unhaul...?

Also, also, if you see any books here you'd like a dedicated review on, let me know in the comments! I'd like to do a little mini-series on reviewing books on my shelves.
