Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781804990926 Publisher: Transworld Publishers Age Range: Adult (18+) Overview: Lessons in Chemistry is Bonnie Garmus's runaway bestselling debut novel, following brilliant 1960s chemist Elizabeth Zott as she battles a scientific establishment built to exclude her. Sacked from her research post, Elizabeth reluctantly becomes the reluctant star of a cookery show, using it to quietly champion science, equality and independent thinking. Sharp, funny and unexpectedly moving, this modern classic has become a global phenomenon, adapted into a hit Apple TV+ series, and is a must-have for fans of witty, character-driven historical fiction with real emotional heft. About the Book: Set in the early 1960s, Lessons in Chemistry introduces Elizabeth Zott, an exceptionally gifted chemist whose career at the Hastings Research Institute is derailed at every turn by the casual sexism of her era. Pushed out of the lab, Elizabeth unexpectedly finds herself hosting Supper at Six, a television cooking programme that she transforms into something far more radical: a platform for teaching women chemistry, confidence and the courage to question the world around them. Told with dry wit and genuine warmth, Bonnie Garmus weaves together romance, grief, motherhood and scientific curiosity into a story that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Elizabeth's singular voice, her devoted dog Six-Thirty, and a supporting cast of vividly drawn characters bring real texture to a narrative that never shies away from injustice, yet still finds room for humour and hope. The novel's exploration of gender inequality in mid-century America feels strikingly relevant today, and readers consistently praise its balance of laugh-out-loud moments and quietly devastating ones. It has become one of the defining word-of-mouth bestsellers of recent years, translated into dozens of languages. Key Benefits: Multi-million-copy international bestseller praised for its
