When circumstance lands her as the host of a cooking show, Elizabeth refuses to dumb down her expertise, instead instructing her devoted housewife audience to approach cooking — and life — as an act of radical chemistry. Bonnie Garmus crafts a sharp, funny, and deeply feminist narrative that argues for the intelligence and ambition of women at a time when society demanded their silence. Brimming with heart, humour, and a lovable six-toed cat named Six-Thirty, this debut novel became a global sensation for its irresistible blend of comedy, romance, and quiet revolution.
