Brian and Barbara review the book Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus, number one on the New York Times hardcover fiction list for FOURTEEN weeks from December 25, 2022 to April 23, 2023 (in other words, from Christmas to Shakespeare's birthday--or is it his deathday?). In this stunningly successful debut novel, single mother Elizabeth Zott confronts the entrenched sexism of early-1960s corporate culture as she makes ends meet by developing the kind of cooking show she thinks housewives need, while hoping to find a way back into the field of her first passion, research chemistry. Twenty minutes with us, and you'll know whether to read it ... or regift it! Episode 4 of bestseller, recorded on 3/25/2023
