Bedside Reading
Lessons in Chemistry
Bonnie Garmus' debut novel about chemist Elizabeth Zott, co-narrated by Six-Thirty the dog who must be one of the most fabulous anthrpomomorphised animals in a novel continues to be THE book club book of the moment. Found on every bookshops bestseller shelf, impossible to miss in the supermarket or in airport bookshops it sold 220, 000 copies in hardback in the UK and appears beside sunloungers the world over as the perfect holiday read. What better book to discuss in the first week of August therefore as we all plan our summer reading?
I'm delighted to welcome back Kathleen Wenaden, GP and poet from London to discuss this book which I will admit, I raced through, enjoyed but do not love.....
