Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

     This book was fun to read and at times caused me to laugh out loud. A bit quirky but very much faithful to the time portrayed. The status of women was painfully revealed and I think not overstated. Our heroine was feminist in the highest sense of the term. There were several lovable characters, even the dog, who was deftly described and plausibly involved, if not with the linguistic genius attributed to him. The dialogues with Mad, the daughter, were delightful. The ending was somewhat surprising and satisfying.
