There is no such thing as an average woman. Especially not Elizabeth Zott.
It's the early 1960s, and Elizabeth is a brilliant chemist working in a world that believes science is a man's job.
At Hastings Research Institute, the only colleague who truly recognises her extraordinary mind is Calvin Evans, a brilliant, Nobel Prize-nominated chemist. But life has other plans.
When Elizabeth unexpectedly becomes the reluctant star of America's most popular cooking show, Supper at Six, she refuses to tell women simply how to cook. Instead, she teaches them to question the rules, trust themselves and change their lives.
As millions tune in, Elizabeth is no longer demonstrating recipes. She is changing far more than the dinner menu. She is challenging the status quo, one molecule at a time.
Perfect for readers of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, Remarkably Bright Creatures and The Wedding People, Lessons in Chemistry is an unforgettable novel about love, resilience and the courage to rewrite the rules
