SUMMARY:Book Club| Lessons in Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:\n• The Monthly Book Club is meeting on January 4th to discus
 s…\nLessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus\n\n• If you would like to li
 sten to the author interview from the audiobook\, you're welcome to come 3
 0 minutes early (12:30p) to hear it. We found that this interview is not p
 rinted in the back of the book (only the audiobook versions)\, but Bonnie 
 Garmus answers some great\, interesting questions!\n\n• Anyone is welcom
 e to join! If you’re interested\, please stop in at the library or give 
 us a call to request a copy of the book.\n\n \n• Synopsis:\n\n\n \n"Se
 t in 1960s California\, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious\, idiosync
 ratic 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 h
 erself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show.\n 
 \nElizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact Elizabeth Zott would b
 e 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 peer
 s 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 onl
 y man who ever treated her-and her ideas-as equal\, Calvin is already a le
 gend and Nobel nominee. He's also awkward\, kind and tenacious. Theirs is 
 true chemistry.\n \nBut as events are never as predictable as chemical re
 actions\, three years later Elizabeth Zott is an unwed\, single mother (di
 d 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 ('tak
 e one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride') and independent exa
 mple are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching wome
 n how to cook\, she's teaching them how to change the status quo.\n \nLau
 gh-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"-- Provided by publisher.\n\n
