The Somers Library Book Group meets in person and virtually via Zoom to discuss Bonnie Garmus' “Lessons in Chemistry.”
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. Set in the 1960’s, her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes an unscientific view of equality. This is the story of an extremely talented woman who becomes the reluctant star of a cooking show that teaches women not only to cook but to learn to change their status quo. The book is laugh-out-loud funny, studded with a dazzling array of characters, and brings to life the work environment of years ago. What has changed since?
This Library-sponsored book group is led by Diana Cunningham, Librarian, who selects the books to be discussed, chosen in consultation with Tara Ferretti, Head of Public Services, with feedback and suggestions from the group. Copies available on a first-come first served basis. Join us!
