Description:

Set in early-1960s California, this bestselling debut follows Elizabeth Zott, a fiercely brilliant chemist whose all-male research institute has little time for her talent — with the exception of Calvin Evans, a lonely, grudge-holding scientist who falls for her mind. When life takes an unexpected turn, Elizabeth finds herself a single mother and the reluctant star of a hit television cooking show, Supper at Six. Her unorthodox approach — teaching housewives chemistry alongside recipes — quietly dares women everywhere to rethink the status quo. Sharp, funny and warm-hearted, with an unforgettable cast (including a remarkable dog named Six-Thirty), it's a vibrant story of resilience, science and standing up for yourself.
