Author Talk with Bonnie Garmus: Lessons in Chemistry
Greenfield Public Library 412 Main St, Greenfield, MA, United StatesJoin us for an entertaining virtual chat with author Bonnie Garmus as she discusses her debut New York Times bestselling novel Lessons in Chemistry, set in 1960’s California, featuring the singular voice of Chemist Elizabeth Zott, a scientist whose career takes an unexpected detour. It begins in the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Zott soon finds herself at the helm of a cooking show. "Welcome to the 1960s, where a woman’s arsenal of tools was often limited to the kitchen—and where Elizabeth Zott is hellbent on overturning the status quo one meal at a time.” For more information, and to register for this and other upcoming talks, go to https://libraryc.org/greenfieldpubliclibrary/21486/register This program, brought to you by the Friends of the Greenfield Public Library in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium, is free and open to the public.
