Meet Elizabeth Zott. Scientist. Trailblazer. Rule-breaker.

The multi-award-winning international bestseller.

_______

There is no such thing as an average woman. Especially not Elizabeth Zott.

It's the early 1960s, and Elizabeth is a brilliant chemist working in a world that believes science is a man's job.

At Hastings Research Institute, the only colleague who truly recognises her extraordinary mind is Calvin Evans, a brilliant, Nobel Prize-nominated chemist. But life has other plans.

When Elizabeth becomes the reluctant star of America's most popular cooking show, Supper at Six, she refuses to tell women simply how to cook. Instead, she teaches them to question the rules, trust themselves and change their lives.

As millions tune in, Elizabeth is no longer demonstrating recipes. She is challenging the status quo, one molecule at a time.

Perfect for readers of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, Remarkably Bright Creatures and The Wedding People - an unforgettable novel about love, resilience and the courage to rewrite the rules

Críticas

Witty, sometimes hilarious, angry, and often surreal. It's the CATCH-22 of early feminism. ― STEPHEN KING

A beautiful, sharp, funny and dark modern classic. Sparkling with charm, heart and wonderfully wicked wit. I adored it ― CHRIS WHITAKER

Contraportada

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.

But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take 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.

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.

Meet the unconventional, uncompromising Elizabeth Zott.
