Sauve Book Club

Sauve Book Club …. NEW!!!!
Thursday 23 March
L’Ancienne Gare

The inaugural meeting of the Sauve Book Club will take place on Thursday 23 March and our first book selection is “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus also available in French as “La Brilliante destinée d’Elizabeth Zott”.

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.

But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.

Please let me know if you plan to attend by emailing me no later than Monday 20 March so we can secure sufficient space.

I look forward to see you on 23 March!
