Lessons in Chemistry, Bonnie Garmus

A dramatic and feminist story of a strong woman.

Elizabeth is a brilliant scientist and chemist. She was destined for a brilliant career. But it was not to be, because of a man named Calvin whom she fell in love with. Their happiness was short-lived: Calvin dies. Elizabeth is left with a small daughter but finds the strength not to give up and becomes the star of a popular cooking show called 'Dinner at Six.'

Through the television program, Elizabeth combines chemistry with cooking pancakes for breakfast and gains many fans. But life, like science, is unpredictable. Her daughter, Madeline, is determined to learn about her father. Fate prepares Elizabeth for a confrontation with the past. She will not only return to scientific research but also discover the hidden truth about her beloved Calvin.

What caused unbearable pain in recent years now offers hope for a new and better future.
