DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of \;Lessons in Chemistry \;(2022-Fiction) by Bonnie Garmus (390 pp. - 4.36/5 on Goodreads).\n\nChemist 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.\n\nCopies book will be distributed at the May meeting and\, afterward\, are available by visiting the front desk at either Centerville or Woodbourne Library. The title is available in regular print\, large print\, eBook\, and eAudiobook. No registration is necessary\, but participants are encouraged to read the book prior to attending the discussion. \;\n\nPer CDC guidelines\, masks are now optional for in-person library programs held indoors.
