The American & Canadian Reading Group - November

The American & Canadian Reading Group

Lessons in Chemistry, by Bonnie Grams

“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… But like science, lifee 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… as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo. "

On the second Wednesday of the month, from 19:00  to 21:00 you are invited to join our Reading Group to discuss the book-of-the-month, written by an American or Canadian author. We meet once a month, our evening get-together is in the Brussels area.  

We often share a meal together while sharing views on the book-of-the-month.

And secondarily, good reads we have enjoyed.  All contributions to the conversation are welcome! 

Interested in participating?  Please contact bookclub@awcb.org 

Book club guidelines/criteria : This book club is comprised of members of the American Women’s Club of Brussels, the American Club of Brussels, and the Canadian Club of Belgium. We look for American or Canadian authors, available for purchase in shops or online, not more than 300-400 pages, and have a preference for those that have a score of at least 4/5 on Goodreads.  The books do not have to be recent, they can also be ones you loved that we might have missed.  We meet on the second Wednesday of the month in the evening, from 7pm to 9pm, either at a host’s home or a restaurant, in the greater Brussels area.
