"On par with Beth Harmon of The Queen’s Gambit, Elizabeth Zott swept me away with her intellect, honesty, and unapologetic selfhood. Lessons in Chemistry is a story for all the smart girls who refuse to dumb themselves down despite a culture that demands otherwise. Though a creation of the 50s & 60s, Zott is a feminist icon for our time."

Rachel Yoder/ author of Nightbitch

"A timeless book, written with furious elegance, black humour

and delightful quirk. Elizabeth Zott is an iconic heroine - a feminist

who refuses to be quashed, a mother who believes that her child is a person to behold, rather than to mould, and who will leave you,

and the lens through which you see the world, quite changed." 

Pandora Sykes/ journalist, broadcaster, and author of 

How Do We Know We're Doing It Right?

"Original, fresh, tender, funny and warm... Elizabeth Zott is the most wonderful character.Just fantastic."

Sinead Moriarty/ author
