Lessons in Chemistry - Bonnie Garmus
She read (and recommends he read)
Publication Date: April 5, 2022
This is a different kind of book and I loved it. It is quirky, amusing, and painfully honest.
Elizabeth is a brilliant scientist with a distinctive personality. She encounters obstacles and makes waves wherever she goes. The story is set the early 50s through the early 60s and reflects the reality of that time for so many women (and, unfortunately, some of the reality that continues today).
Character development is entertaining with very unique players here….some charming, some hateful. Dealing with them all, the indomitable Elizabeth forges ahead, no matter the challenges she meets.
Read this book just to find out why she always wears a number 2 pencil in her hair…but also to enjoy a delightful and perceptive story.
Thanks to #netgalley and #Doubleday for the DRC.
