Lessons In Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus was one of the most talked-about debut novels of last year, and now it’s getting the TV treatment, starring none other than Oscar winner Brie Larson in the lead role.

Garmus’s novel, a Sunday Times bestseller that was also nominated for Waterstones’s debut fiction prize last year, is set in the 60s and tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a scientist who accepts a job hosting beloved cooking show Supper At Six after she is fired from her lab.

Her unusual approach to her new role wins over plenty of female fans and subtly inspires women to challenge the status quo.
