The Book Club book
This debut novel set in 1960s California features the wonderful and unique Elizabeth Zott, a scientist whose career suffers when working as the only woman in an all-male team. A forced change of career leads to her becoming the host of a TV cooking show, Supper at Six, and the ability to influence millions of women.
