I don't remember how I found out about this book, but am I glad. It was a standout
It's a debut novel by a 64 year old – hope for us all yet!
It is very well written, funny and sad and perfectly set in its time (late 50's and the 60s)
You'll love the main character Elizabeth Zott – a true scientist who doesn't understand people who don't operate on logic. She is treated poorly by several people – including one woman – these were the days when women were definitely regarded as not equal to men.
If you only read one book this year, make it this one.
I will look for this one!!!
