Lessons in Chemistry

Lessons in Chemistry is the story of a misunderstood, quirky, and unconventional chemist, Elizabeth Zott. Set in the early 1960s, Elizabeth is beautiful but not prim. Honestly, she can’t be bothered. She has more important things to do, like personally and professionally challenging societal norms. Her brilliance captures the attention of Calvin Evans, and they quite literally collide, bonded beyond measure. Cultural constructs force Elizabeth into a new career where her determination and unique perspective start a revolutionary reaction. As she reluctantly becomes the star of the hit afternoon show, Supper at Six, her scientific approach to culinary experimentation quickly attracts a devoted following. But not everyone is pleased with her matter-of-fact methods. A cerebral yet simple story of devotion and resilience, Elizabeth Zott teaches women to cook but also empowers them to change their lives and the world around them. Underestimated and unwavering, she proves that the ability t

The Paper Palace

Image
One summer morning, Elle's life changed forever the moment she dove into the pond at The Paper Palace – the one place that knows all her secrets. Within the next twenty-four hours, a journey of fifty years leads to a decision that changes everything. Do you remember answering machines and sea monkeys?  Even if you don't, you'll connect with the choices that can make and break us. Jumping from one memory of a moment to another, the story spans half a century. Especially if you enjoy descriptive detail, you’ll find yourself immersed in the smell of the salt air and the pang of regret. It was a slow burn for me, but the perfect Generation X beach read.  “I hate the way British people cook eggs.”  I liked it and gave it three stars.  This book was purchased from The Mysterious Bookcase.

Adventures About To Begin

Image
  After the death of his grandfather, Noah’s life is thrown into chaos as he faces a  repressed past which threatens everything he believes to be true. In the course of  trying to come to terms with his loss, Noah must also navigate a difficult relationship  with his sister, Kelly, as they reflect on their turbulent childhood – when they were  taken from London to live in the Kent countryside following the breakdown of their  parents’ marriage. Set between the 1970s and the more recent past, Adventures About To Begin  chronicles a collapsing marriage as experienced by its children and reflects on how  memory shapes our decisions at crucial junctures during our lives.  It is both funny and touching, as well as a sensitive insight into British family life  during a period of great social and cultural change. I liked it and gave it three stars. Adventures About to Begin  by Allen Therisa is a touching and nostalgic tale that transports readers to the vibrant 1970s, where we join Noah on
