Lessons in Chemistry

Bonnie Garmus
Penguin Books UKPenguin Books UK

Lessons In Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus is a really fun, absorbing novel, set in 1960s America. Also Emily Edwards' The Herd, all about the divisive issue of vaccination, is definitely a conversation-starter! #AskPenguin https://t.co/lSeh42zR3O https://t.co/EiHM6Vts6G
