Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus is one of the most delightful books I have read this year.
Elizabeth Zott is a chemist. In the early 1960s there are not many women who have braved the gauntlet required to get an advanced degree. Now she works at the Hastings Research Institute. And Hastings is where she meets Calvin Evans - a man who sees her like no one else has.
Filled with amazing characters and laugh-out-loud scenes, but also containing the realities of the time, the struggle to be taken seriously and one of the best dogs ever written.
Read this book. I have listened to the audiobook and am now reading it - back to back.
