Lessons in Chemistry

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Full of humour, heartbreak and characters who feel like real people. This is a book that everyone will be talking about * RED MAGAZINE * A truly unique book with some great life lessons * WOMAN AND HOME, BEST BOOKS OF 2022 * Entirely enjoyable, totally engrossing novel, Garmus' beautifully drawn characters, her polished, engaging prose and a hugely satisfying plot make for a glorious read.

Lessons In Chemistry is alight with warmth, wit and hard-won wisdom. Absolutely wonderful * DAILY EXPRESS * Fast, funny and furious * DAILY EXPRESS * Feminism is the catalyst that makes [Lessons in Chemistry] fizz like hydrochloric acid on limestone. Elizabeth Zott does not have 'moxie'; she has courage. She is not a 'girl boss' or a 'lady chemist'; she's a groundbreaker and an expert in abiogenesis. . . To file Elizabeth Zott among the pink razors of the book world is to miss the sharpness of Garmus's message. Lessons in Chemistry will make you wonder about all the real-life women born ahead of their time - women who were sidelined, ignored and worse because they weren't as resourceful, determined and lucky as Elizabeth Zott. She's a reminder of how far we've come, but also how far we still have to go * NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW * Unforgettable ... Elizabeth Zott is intelligent, fearless, determined and utterly inspiring * CULTUREFLY * Witty and sometimes hilarious. The CATCH-22 of early feminism * STEPHEN KING * Enchanting, clever, funny and packed with deeply engaging characters. I still think about it a lot * INDIA KNIGHT's Book of the Year, SUNDAY TIMES * As with all the best stories, there is a timelessness to this book. One senses it will be read in ten or twenty years' time * IRISH TIMES * Witty, sometimes hilarious, angry, and often surreal. It's the CATCH-22 of early feminism. * STEPHEN KING *
