THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLERSoon to be an Apple TV series starring Brie Larson'Sparky, rip-roaring, funny' SUNDAY TIMES'The most charming, life-enhancing novel I've read in ages' INDIA KNIGHT, Book of the Year'I loved it' NIGELLA LAWSON____________Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts hereChemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman.
In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality.
Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with - of all things - her mind.
True chemistry results. Like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later, Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six.
Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ('combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride') proves revolutionary.
But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook.
She's daring them to change the status quo. __________SOON TO BE A MAJOR APPLE TV SERIAL, STARRING BRIE LARSON'I loved Lessons in Chemistry and am devastated to have finished it!'
