Welcome to Cover to Cocktails! This month’s book is Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. This novel follows the formidable Elizabeth Zott as she breaks all the societal rules for women in the 1960s. Elizabeth was a chemist before becoming a single parent to daughter Madeline. To make ends meet, she later hosted a popular cooking show where she shared her love of chemistry through her recipes. With wonderful characters and so many great quotable moments, we are sure you will love this book!
