Lessons in Chemistry
Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel | Bonnie Garmus
"Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show. 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 1960s and despite the fact that she is a scientist, her peers are very unscientific when it comes to equality. The only good thing to happen to her on the road to professional fulfillment is a run-in with her super-star colleague Calvin Evans (well, she stole his beakers.) The only man who ever treated her-and her ideas-as equal, Calvin is already a legend and Nobel nominee. He's also awkward, kind and tenacious. Theirs is true chemistry. But as events are never as predictable as chemical reactions, three years later Elizabeth Zott is an unwed, single mother (did we mention it's the early 60s??) and the star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's singular approach to cooking ('take one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride') and independent example are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook, she's teaching them how 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"--

My heart. This book takes you through so many emotions absolutely flawlessly. The way the author tackles some triggering subjects and flows effortlessly into the winding tale of the characters lives is incredible. This book definitely deserved the Book of the Year award it received last year.

I ended up purchasing a copy tonight before I finished and I‘m so glad I did!

Hilarious, frightening, sad, heartfelt and powerful. I was a bit of a late bloomer with discovering this book but tbh the timing was great for me. Sometimes I wonder how far have we actually come with the #feminist movement and closed this book with a sob and deep cry by thinking not far enough! But onwards and looking forward to watching the tv series now.

You think this book is going to be fluffy and silly and humorous until you find yourself recognizing parts of your own life in it and crying.

I doubt many men have read this book, my own husband would never deign to read anything like it (never mind, I‘ve left him) but more should. I‘m glad I gave in to the hype, it‘s worth it. 💜

Read for our faculty book club! I've seen the praise and critiques from this group, and did agree with most of it, but in the end I did find it an enjoyable read.

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I have to say, though, that I actually like what the TV series is doing better than the book! Recasting Harriet as an educated black woman fighting for the community and having her call out Elizabeth for her privilege helps expand the feminist message, and seeing how Harriet and her husband negotiate the primacy of their careers mirrors the struggles I imagine Elizabeth and Calvin would have had if he had lived. 2w

I folded to the pressure on this one, mostly because I knew the TV series was being released. I typically avoid books with covers such as these, since I can only do rom-coms every so often. I knew this one was supposed to be not exactly in that genre, but with a more serious undertone. Wouldn‘t say I loved it, but I liked it. May get some backlash for this, but even though I liked Six-thirty‘s name, I felt the dog was an unnecessary character.

julesG I honestly hate the US cover. Both the UK and German editions are much more appropriate. 3w
julesG Have a look at @Lindy's post with the different covers: https://litsy.com/p/aWlXdGVHcDVS 3w
Tamra My thoughts changed on the cover. Initially I hated it for the incongruity, but then I realized it‘s a good fit because the MC is critically judged for being a woman, especially an attractive one. Assumptions & and all that….. (edited) 3w
tpixie @julesG oh! @Lindy found even more covers! Fun! I had only seen the US UK in German ones previously. @Coleen I agree the US looks too much like a romcom Once I looked at it closer, I did appreciate the beakers in the glasses and the pencil in her hair. But the US cover otherwise misrepresents the book! 2w

It has been said a lot but I was still surprised at the depth of this. Zott is a complex character and the story is paved so well it was easy to get into and stay reading.
The character of Mad was a bit much for me. A 4 year old who reads well is great but when she starts picking up Mailer and Nabokov I have to roll my eyes.
I really appreciated how Germus addresses women in stem and sexuality in academia.

Caroline2 Yep. I rolled my eyes at a 4yr old picking up those books too. 🙄 1mo

This sort of historical feminist novel - featuring a scientist, no less - should absolutely be my catnip.

The early on-page violent rape started things off badly, and then things got worse. I couldn't get through more than fifteen or so pages before falling asleep or getting bored, so it took me ages to read. I realise this is an unpopular opinion, and I don't care. All three main characters were Mary Sues in the worst way. [cont.]

Lauredhel (cont.) (I usually resist the use of the term Mary Sue for feminist reasons, but this book is definitely an exception).

The feminist polemic was repetitive and stilted. While I can forgive the dog fantasy creature, the author appears to have never met an actual child; certainly not a gifted one. And she also appears to have never met a scientist: the way the author thinks scientists speak is ludicrous and cringeworthy. (cont.)
1mo
Lauredhel (cont.) I was thrown out of the narrative by these things constantly.

And to add insult to injury, I've just heard they've cast a goddamn goldendoodle to play Six Thirty in the adaptation. He's supposed to be a tall lanky grey wire-haired washed bomb-sniffer. In the fifties. Have giant schnauzers, wolfhounds, and non-poodle-mutts stopped existing or something?

Worst book of the year.

There, I'm done.

Lauredhel Not quite done: I've just picked up Fourth Wing as a unicorn chaser. Will I have an unpopular opinion on that too? Stay tuned. 1mo

Halfway through this book. I've gone from “Meh“ to “WTF was with that violent on-page rape in a book with THIS cover?!“ back to “Meh“ to “these ridiculous stereotypes of scientists are just insulting and ignorant, not 'hilarious“ to “the only reason I'm continuing is to hate-read“.

lazydaizee I started to read this but I did not like it, so I stopped reading about a quarter of the way through. The story had a depressing effect on me. 1mo
Kitta Hmm I‘m unsure if I‘ll enjoy this. I‘m a scientist so I was hoping the depictions of scientists was good. Also as a rape survivor thank you for the trigger warning, why has no one else mentioned this? I might give it a pass. 1mo
Lauredhel @Kitta honestly the “science” stuff is pure cringe. They are both scientists so they say things like “pass the sodium chloride” at the dinner table. She‘s a chemist except she specialises in abiogenesis but also is a physics savant who can instantly become a gun rower by doing equations. I hate it. 1mo

Really enjoyed this one!Elizabeth Zott is under estimated at every turn, a look at how women where not taken seriously,even with brains & talent. If you don‘t think the world was this way,ask your parents or grandparents. Both my parents worked,went in for a mortgage.Banker said they wouldn‘t consider my mom‘s income to qualify. she asked why, banker smugly said ,you could get pregnant! She said my husband could step off a curb & get hit by a bus!

Suet624 I remember an insurance agent saying I didn‘t need life insurance because I didn‘t make enough money. My husband was the only one he sold insurance too even though he made less money than I did. 2mo

Honestly, when one of my book club chose this book, I wasn't thrilled, and when I started reading it, I first thought that it would be bad, but surprisingly it wasn't. Of course, it remains in the "mainstream" category with some predictability, some clichés, the happy ending of course, but the plot was entertaining enough. The dog as a character was also a nice touch.

I would not have picked up this book if it weren't for book club but I'm glad I did. I loved the characters and it felt like the writing went right along side the main character, Elizabeth Zott. I did find that the end wrapped up a bit to neatly for my liking. I'm not sure it went with the time - I felt like the whole book she was battling issues of the 60s and at the end everyone got a great ending and we were almost in another time.

Cannot recommend this enough. I went through so many emotions reading it. There was sadness at Elizabeth's plight and anger at the injustice of the man-dominated world (some of it still relevant 60 years on, sadly). But there are also lots of feel good moments, and many places where I laughed out loud. A great, great, debut. 5*

Sometimes I don‘t read a popular book because I am a cranky person who thinks I won‘t like it. In this case the crowds were right. A character I could root for. And how many books do I read where the ending is wrapped up so nicely and my new found character friend succeeds? Apparently not that many. My friends get nervous when I hand them a book because it‘s often grim. This was not. It was delightful.

Tamra I didn‘t think I would like this one either! I was thoroughly entertained. I used to complain about the cover art, but now am apt to believe it cleverly supports the premise, which is don‘t judge people (& books)by appearances. 2mo

Elizabeth Zott is a talented chemist in the 60s,being a scientist is what defines her but,despite many being aware of her talent,she only encounters barriers from a misogynistic society and ends up creating a cooking show that sparks a revolution.This is a surprisingly light read for such a heavy theme where many of Elizabeth's experiences are sadly still present in our daily lives.Perhaps it goes on for too long, but overall I really enjoyed it.

I simply adored this witty, charming, and profound novel about a chemist and single mother in the 1960s that finds herself the star of a cooking show to pay the bills. Garmus‘s Elizabeth Zott is smart, capable, and wholly lovable. I saw a bit of myself in Zott and her tenacity. Society‘s outlook on women still has so far to go, but she reminds me that courage can be quiet and revolution starts with small change and relentlessly being yourself. 5⭐️

“In ancient times, the pupil was believed to be a round, solid object comparable to an apple. Since the pupil is essential to vision, it was held to be something very precious. Thus, when you call someone the "apple of your eye," you are telling them that they are cherished.” In this book, Elizabeth‘s daughter Madeline is the ‘apple of her eye‘ ?
