A vibrant and shrewdly observant novel about a brilliant 1960s female scientist whose career takes an unexpected detour when she becomes the star of a beloved TV cooking show.
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman, but her all-male team at the Hastings Research Institute in the early 1960s takes a very unscientific view of equality. After finding an unexpected connection with the brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated Calvin Evans, life’s unpredictable nature leaves Elizabeth a single mother and the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual, scientific approach to cooking proves revolutionary. However, as her following grows, it becomes clear she isn’t just teaching women to cook; she’s daring them to challenge the status quo. The narrative provides a sharp look at female ambition and the resilience required to forge an independent path in a highly restrictive era.
Why You’ll Love This Audiobook
The narration team of Miranda Raison, Bonnie Garmus, and Pandora Sykes delivers a masterful, dynamic vocal performance. They bring a grounded authenticity to the novel, capturing Elizabeth Zott's unapologetic intellect and the vibrant atmosphere of the 1960s television studio with commanding grace. This 11-hour and 55-minute performance is a great pick for listeners interested in the social history of the mid-century and the women who rewrote the rules of society to author their own legacy.
