This was just what I needed to read after several more serious books. I've seen people refer to it as funny - and while the subject matter isn't humorous, the writing sometimes is quirky and fun. It's in some ways like a fairy tale with a magical ending.
Don't be put off by the cover. Elizabeth herself talks about how "pink for girls" is wrong, and yet the publishers gave the book a pink cover making it look like chick lit - which it is not - or a romance - also not.
It takes place in the 50's in the days when women in the workforce were always secretaries or assistants. Elizabeth Zott is a chemist. Most of the men in her world treat her with contempt (or worse!) as she tries to establish herself in her career. But then she meets Calvin. I won't say more, but I highly recommend this one. I think I read it all in two days. - June
