Our June Readers’ Circle continues a summer tradition and will be held outdoors, in the garden of a member’s home. After you register you will receive an email with the address. Our summer session al fresco is often one of the most widely attended book club meetings. Pick up a copy of Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry today and mark your calendars for 7:00 pm, Thursday, June 22.
The accolades for this book just don’t stop: #1 New York Times bestseller, Good Morning America Book Club pick, best book of the year according to the Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, and Barnes and Noble!
Lessons in Chemistry tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a gifted chemist who is “absurdly self-assured and immune to social convention” (The Washington Post). The action takes place in California during the 1960s as Elizabeth navigates life among an all-male research team…and then suddenly finds herself a single mom and the unlikely star of a TV cooking show! In the process, she not only teaches her audience to cook – she dares them to change the status quo.
