Moon Bones with Julie Weston

Without other options, she accepts a job as a cooking show host. And being Elizabeth Zott, she does what any good chemist would do: She turns citric acid, sucrose, and H20 into lemonade.

Andrea Nelson, Library Assistant, recommends Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.

The Community Library will hold its inaugural book club, “Together We Read!” on December 8, 2022. I am thrilled to host our first gathering! We will discuss one of my favorite recent works of fiction, Lessons in Chemistry, by Bonnie Garmus. 

Don’t be fooled by its hot pink cover;  Lessons in Chemistry is no weightless romance novel. Garmus throws a huge pile of infuriating literary stones at her protagonist, Elizabeth Zott. It’s not easy to fluster a brilliant scientist like Zott, however.

I found it interesting that the people of Ember had to learn everything about this new world. For example, the red ball in the sky they are unfamiliar with and the green material beneath their feet...
