化学课：一本小说

《即时纽约时报》畅销书•早安美国读书俱乐部精选•必读处女作！认识伊丽莎白·佐特：20世纪60年代加利福尼亚州的一位独一无二的科学家，当她在这部小说中成为备受喜爱的电视烹饪节目中不太可能的明星时，她的职业生涯走了一段弯路。这部小说“不可抗拒，令人满意，充满活力。它提醒你，改变需要时间，总是需要热量”（纽约时报书评）。
“这是世界与伊丽莎白·佐特的较量，她是一个决心按自己的方式生活的非凡女性，我毫不犹豫地选择了一方……一个翻页且非常令人满意的故事：活泼、活泼、佐蒂。”-麦琪·希普斯特德，《大圈》畅销书作者
化学家伊丽莎白·佐特不是一般的女人。事实上，伊丽莎白·佐特（Elizabeth Zott）会第一个指出，世上没有所谓的普通女性。但那是20世纪60年代初，她在黑斯廷斯研究所的全男性团队对平等持非常不科学的观点。除了一个：卡尔文·埃文斯；这位孤独的、才华横溢的、诺贝尔奖提名的怀恨在心的人爱上了她心中所有的东西。真正的化学结果。
但就像科学一样，生活也是不可预测的。这就是为什么几年后，伊丽莎白·佐特（Elizabeth Zott）发现自己不仅是一位单身母亲，而且还是美国最受欢迎的烹饪节目《六点晚餐》（the Sight at Different）中不情愿的明星。伊丽莎白不同寻常的烹饪方法（“将一汤匙醋酸和一小撮氯化钠混合起来”）证明是革命性的。但随着她的追随者的增加，并不是每个人都感到高兴。因为事实证明，伊丽莎白·佐特不仅仅是教女人做饭。她让他们敢于改变现状。
大声大笑——有趣、机敏、观察力强、配角阵容令人眼花缭乱——化学课和主角一样具有独创性和活力。
Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • A must-read debut! Meet Elizabeth Zott: a one-of-a-kind scientist in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show in this novel that is “irresistible, satisfying and full of fuel. It reminds you that change takes time and always requires heat” (The New York Times Book Review).
“It’s the world versus Elizabeth Zott, an extraordinary woman determined to live on her own terms, and I had no trouble choosing a side…. A page-turning and highly satisfying tale: zippy, zesty, and Zotty.” —Maggie Shipstead, best-selling author of Great Circle
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.
Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.
