This month we will read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Email Meaghan at mschwelm@cwmars.org to request a copy and to be added to the Book Group email list.

"In Garmus's debut novel, a frustrated chemist finds herself at the helm of a cooking show that sparks a revolution. Welcome to the 1960s, where a woman's arsenal of tools was often limited to the kitchen--and where Elizabeth Zott is hellbent on overturning the status quo one meal at a time."

-- The New York Times

"Strikingly relevant...Darkly funny and poignant... Lessons in Chemistry's excellent experiment [is] quirky and heartwarming."

-- The Atlantic

"Elizabeth Zott is going to be an important character to a lot of people . . . Absolute chemistry."

-- Scott Simon, NPR
