Her outspokenness has consequences, but it also inspires those around her. She’s both incredibly smart and sometimes clueless – something I could relate to and didn’t find off-putting. Though she isn’t completely clueless about societal norms, it’s more that she chooses not to bend to them. Zott has traits that are like those on the spectrum, though nothing would be diagnosed as such at this time. ![]() ![]() You will either love or hate Elizabeth and her daughter Mad, there isn’t a lot of in-between. This book is generating strong opinions, both positive and negative, on Goodreads. I loved this novel about a strong, opinionated woman in the early 1960s who is a chemist, a single mother, and the star of a cooking television show. This sort of novel could easily become trite but it never did. Elizabeth Zott has to deal with sexism, harassment, and assault, as she navigates the world of science and television. ![]()
