Fiction
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (ISBN: 9781804990926, paperback). This is the story of Elizabeth Zott. Set in 1950s America, Elizabeth is a brilliant and beautiful chemist. She overcomes tragedy, misogyny, plagiarism and social prejudice at every turn. But as her academic career stalls an unlikely TV career blossoms. The story delivers power punches of emotion and tension, lightened with just the right amount of humour and the exceptional observations of Elizabeth’s fabulous dog, Six-Thirty.
