Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Everything comes down to chemistry
Revisado: 07-18-23
Thoroughly enjoyed all of this book. I was growing up during this time and remembered having many like situations as a female in a male dominated society. Not encouraged to be my own person with my own aspirations. Coming from divorced parents and looked down upon by society because of that. Being expected to get married right out of HS because that’s what girls did (not me though).
I loved reading about how strong Elizabeth Zott was able to stay focused, just as a man was encouraged to, and find her way through all of life’s trials and tribulations.

With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

I love reading a book that gives me a glimpse into another culture. That is exactly what The Henna Artist did for me. The narrator truly made me feel the story that Joshi but forward.

Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal Italian teenager - obsessed with music, food, and girls - but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a German soldier - a move they think will keep him out of combat.

Great vacay read
Revisado: 12-29-19
When about to leave for a week long vacation, I sent a text out to my friends, asking for recommendations for a good read. Five of my friends recommended this book, so I had to go for it.
It was an interesting part of history I had never heard before. I love historical fiction and this did not disappoint. Although there were moments that became a bit too much filler, I could later see the need for it.
Interesting, was the fact that the afterward was also very riveting.
Definitely a book to put on your list.
