Product Information

SOMEHOW, she has agreed to host a “cooking show” on TV-though she insists that her show is about Chemistry! The 87-year-old, who remains Bestway’s chair, had left his native Pakistan seven years earlier for Britain, where he had taken on a variety of jobs including a period spent as a bus conductor in Bradford. Pervez’s convenience store business took off, putting 10 shops in London under his management.

Fast forward a couple of years, and Elizabeth is now a single mother, with a PRECOCIOUS 4 year old to support. When she discovers another child is taking advantage of her daughter Mad (the name was accidental) during lunch break at school, she demands a face to face meeting with the little girl’s father. Overall, you’ll have gathered that I think this debut is amazing and I urge you to read it. It has every ingredient of a book that fascinates, delights, charms and engages. If for nothing else read it for Six-Thirty ... and to find his out he gets his name cos I’m not saying!! Elizabeth views herself as a scientist but knows, by experience, female scientists are virtually non-existent. Ten days before graduating with her master's degree from UCLA, the admissions committee rescinded her application to the doctoral program.Lessons in Chemistry is quite simply a wonderful book. I loved everything about it. Set in the USA in the 1950s and 60s, it is the story of Elizabeth Zott, a chemist and reluctant TV host. Academic fit - can they offer what you’re looking for, in terms of subject knowledge and experience? One important idea discussed in this book is the idea of limits, defining what is possible. This is not just fiction. Elizabeth Zott: How can I express my feelings about this character? She's so unique, different, extraordinary, visionary, extremely quirky, odd, straightforward, honest, a real feminist, intelligent, intellectual, fighter, survivor, and a brilliant scientist who is brave enough to fight for her rights and her loved ones against mansplaining, inequality, abuse, and humiliation!

An insightful, part tear-jerker, truly hilarious at times work with more than enough charisma to make you want to be the best version of yourself? That is Bonnie Garmus’s masterpiece: Lessons In Chemistry.I also wanted to add that there is a lot of humor in this book! And how could I forget “six thirty” the dog who know 600+ words! He is a narrator throughout the novel. Lessons in Chemistry tells the story of a brilliant scientific mind in the 1960s. Only problem is that the mind is in the body of the woman. Not just any woman, but an atypical one who has no interest in marriage or the other traditional trappings of domestic life. Still, one thing leads to another, and she finds herself with a daughter living in the suburbs. Because of the gender roles of that era, her passions and talents for chemistry are going to waste until she ends up with a nightly television show teaching other women how to cook. “Suppers at Six” finally gives home-bound, invisible moms a platform to ask questions, dream big, and prioritize themselves. It also puts items like “acetic acid” on their shopping lists. (That’s vinegar for all you non-sciency types like me.) PAIRING THE GENIUS 4 YEAR OLD WITH THE HARVARD EDUCATED REVEREND WAKELY IN A FACE-OFF BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE FOR WHICH THE REVEREND STRUGGLES TO HOLD HIS OWN WAS THE END OF THE ROAD FOR ME. Ironically, I think this might work better as a sit-com than a book. It has elements of Stepford Wives and Desperate Housewives, with a dash of Edward Scissorhands.
