In-Person Parent Double Book Review

Senior School Library
M. Rutledge
Please join us for wine, cheese and conversation on Tuesday, March 29th at 7 pm, accompanied by a lively book discussion led by Senior School Librarian, Melissa Rutledge.

Two novels to discuss:

- Remarkably Bright Creatures by: Shelby Van Pelt
This debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible. The following is Goodreads' description of Remarkably Bright Creatures: "A charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope, tracing a widow's unlikely connection." 

Lessons in Chemistry by: Bonnie Garmus 
Best-selling debut author Bonnie Garmus has created Elizabeth Zott, a research chemist battling a sexist 1950s and 60s establishment, as the role model she craved — and found that readers wanted the same. 
Named 2022 Book of the Year by Barnes & Noble, please don't judge this book by its cover. “All’s fair in love and chemistry. It’s 1960s California and there are certain things that women just don’t do. When scientist Elizabeth Zott finds herself the host of a television cooking show, she kicks off a revolution that does more than just challenge the status quo.”
We cannot wait to discuss this book with you! As one reviewer wrote, “It is utterly unputdownable!”

We ask that you kindly let us know in advance if you are able to join us so that we can plan for numbers. Happy reading!
