Why do I have to wait all year for the best book? I put this one at the top of my list for 2023 although Barbara Kingsolver's Demon Copperfield came close, I enjoyed the laughter and spunk of Garmus's story.
Elizabeth Zott is a scientist to be taken seriously -- though in the 1960s that isn't going to happen. Her sharp intellect is ignored or overlooked by her male colleagues. She finds her soulmate only to move on and become a daytime TV cooking show host.
I found myself cheering for her and her perseverance and take-no-nonsense attitude. It's a reflection of attitudes that were and are still with us. Add this one to your list - you won't be disappointed.
