Lessons in Chemistry — Bonnie Garmus
Your ability to change everything – including yourself – starts here.
Elizabeth Zott, chemist, is unemployable in 1960s America — so she ends up teaching the nation chemistry through a cooking show. Bonnie Garmus's runaway bestseller is funny, furious and impossible not to press on people.
