Lessons in Chemistry

Brought to you by Penguin. INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH PANDORA SYKES Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here 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. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Forced to resign, she reluctantly signs on as the host of a cooking show, Supper at Six. But her revolutionary approach to cooking, fuelled by scientific and rational commentary, grabs the attention of a nation. Soon, a legion of overlooked housewives find themselves daring to change the status quo. One molecule at a time. ‘Laugh-out-loud funny and brimming with life, generosity and courage’ RACHEL JOYCE 'A novel that sparks joy with every page' ELIZABETH DAY 'I loved Lessons in Chemistry and am devastated to have finished it!'
