Story3.5 out of 5 stars 143
Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Includes an exclusive author interview with Pandora Sykes.
Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here.
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.
But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant Nobel-prize-nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later, Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ('combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride') proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.
Meet the unconventional, uncompromising Elizabeth Zott.
Critic Reviews

I absolutely loved this book on so many levels. For sure it satisfied my feelings of injustice in our patriarchal society, it’s nailed to the mast for all to experience… but it’s a great tale too. Loveable characters and original plot. All round winner.

Brilliant - tell your friends
This book should be essential listening for all especially men 😀. It is set in the 50’s but the situations it covers haven’t really changed for lots of women or disadvantaged groups . A lot of the lines are laugh out loud hilarious but there are also shocking scenes . Also a surreal dog and precocious child which you just roll with even though a tad unbelievable . All in all a joyous experience . Save it for a long journey or gardening! ☀️👍

Disappointing
After such glowing reviews, I thought this had to be good, but I found it tedious. It’s an interesting subject but what ought to feel significant felt lightweight and twee in places. The author can clearly write, but the main character did not engage me or feel believable. I got half-way and couldn’t face another 4 hours of listening, so abandoned it.

An excellent book, that I just couldn’t stop listening to! Sad, funny, and tragic, you can’t help but love Elizabeth Zot, Mad, Harriet, Wakely, Dr Mason, Mr Pine and even Miss Frask, but Six-Thirty steals the book!
I defy you not to enjoy this wonderful story.
So well read by Miranda Raison, I need to find other books read by her!

Delightful book
From the first chapter I enjoyed this book and right through to the conclusion. I am glad there was an interview with the author at the end as I was so sad the book had finished. The story is a harsh reminder of life in the 1950"s for women and orphans (oh how far we have come!) . I grew to love all of the characters that surrounded Elizzabeth Zott and was compelled to know what happens to her every step. I don't want to spoil this book but to say if you pick it up it won't disappoint.

Thank you for this wonderful book. And the narrator, Miranda Raison brought the story to life - thank you for your interpretation. I am heading out to buy it for my daughter.

This would not have been a book I'd normally choose, but it was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad she did. What a wonderfully written and performed story. I'm not surprised it is now in development as an Apple series. I'll be keenly wsiring on Bonnie Garmus's next book!
