Truly a beautiful book. I didn't really know what this book is about when I first started it. I don't even think I expected that. I only knew I have to read it as I love chemistry myself. At the beginning I wasn't too sure about the style or story, but I quickly turned out to love it. I am a pharmacy student and I am extremely garteful that I don't have to live what women in 1950-1960, earlier and later on had to live through and I know they are to thank for. The saddest part about this is that you can still find people, men who thinks the way we saw some of the characters in the book think and even ib my university you can clearly see that sometimes. I think the way the struggle through life of Elizabeth was shown was absolutely on point. I didn't know what we are heading up to til the end and I didn't expect that, but I felt the warmth coming through the pages to me. I really liked characters and their story. It has spoken to me on a deeper level and I think years later it might be something people will be going back to. Writing style was the perfect choice for this story. I don't think we could have experience this story on that kind of level if we would see something different or from first person point of view. I truly felt like it could have been written years ago. Definitely worth reading and giving it a shot
