Hello everyone and welcome to my new book review of current and popular best seller on the shelves at the moment - and in different book clubs around the world. It's Bonnie Garmus' book Lessons in Chemistry. I found out that Apple TV will screen the show based on the book and it's something I'm looking forward to seeing because it felt like I was watching a TV show as I was reading this book.
This book is choc full of 2023 themes but in the context of how society treated women back in the late 1950s and early 1960s. We are introduced to a character Elizabeth Zott for all intents and purposes, thinks and acts like a 2023 woman so you can hazard to guess the difficulties that she finds herself in but that she doesn't let them get to her. Around her, she has wonderful friends (and 'frenemies') who try to understand her - and a dog called Six Thirty who also tries to understand what makes humans tick.
Over to you. Have you read this book?
What are your thoughts about the many themes in this book?
Which character did you warm to?
Feel free to leave your thoughts below.
