About This Audiobook

Lessons in Chemistry serves up a delightful blend of science, satire, and self-discovery, all wrapped in a 1960s California package. Elizabeth Zott, our heroine, is no ordinary woman; she's a brilliant chemist with a penchant for breaking societal norms. When she finds herself the unlikely star of a TV cooking show, Garmus' wit and originality shine. Miranda Raison's narration is a treat, capturing Zott's dry humor and intelligence with ease. This isn't your typical audiobook; it's a unique fusion of science, feminism, and laugh-out-loud moments that'll keep you hooked.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I devoured Lessons in Chemistry like a recipe for success. Bonnie Garmus' debut is a refreshing take on the women's fiction genre, offering a smart, unapologetic heroine who's a joy to spend time with. Miranda Raison's narration is pitch-perfect, bringing Zott's wit and intelligence to life. The pacing is excellent, balancing moments of laugh-out-loud humor with poignant reflections on Zott's journey. My only critique? I wish we'd gotten a bit more of Zott's backstory, but that's a small quibble in an otherwise fantastic listen. This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of smart, funny fiction.
