Tell Me A Story

I finally read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus, and I can see why everyone’s been talking about it.

Elizabeth Zott is one of those heroines who makes you want to stand a little taller — sharp, stubborn, gloriously out of step with her time. 

I loved how Garmus blended humour with heartbreak, showing the quiet battles women fought just to be taken seriously. 

It’s funny, too, how a book set in the 1960s can still feel like it’s talking to us now. I closed it feeling inspired — and slightly annoyed that I didn’t write it first.
