'The most charming, life-enhancing novel' Sunday Times 'Funny, thought-provoking and stylish' Guardian 'The best book I've read recently. I loved it' - SARA COX, BBC 2 Between the Covers 'Everyone needs to read this' 5-star reader review ___________ A woman ahead of her time. But exactly right for ours Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, she 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. Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-Prize-nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with - of all things - her mind. Like science, life is unpredictable. Forced to leave her job at the institute, Elizabeth Zott soon finds herself 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. One molecule at a time. __________ A New York Times 'Top 100 Best Books of the 21st Century' Reader's Pick Author of the Year at the British Book Awards Author of the Year, Waterstones Winner of the Goodreads Choice Best Debut Novel Award Winner of the Books are My Bag Reader's Choice Award Winner of the Books are My Bag Breakthrough Author Award Shortlisted for the HWA Crown Award PRAISE FOR LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY: 'Laugh-out-loud funny and brimming with life, generosity and courage' Rachel Joyce, bestselling author of The Homemade God 'Full of humour, heartbreak and characters who feel like real people' Red Magazine 'Page-turning and highly satisfying' – Maggie Shipstead, bestselling author of Great Circle 'I loved Lessons in Chemistry and am devastated to have finished it!'
