I'm reading a mystery and I thought of Lestat.  The main character is a 12 year old girl who is really into chemistry.  It's set in 1950's England.  Not really his cuppa, but it brought him to mind.

Is there an ebook? or rather, whats the ISSBN? because I've ways and means of finding books online.

That sounds like an interesting read. And it makes you think of me QV my dear? it makes ME think of me :heisenberg:

Well not the 12yo girl bit, I've never been one of those. Probably never going to be either :P
But the way I was into chemistry even before I had the means to practice the art myself, beyond simple experiments and forays into plant biochemistry. LOL QV...I started a lot younger though with the reading. Teaching myself to read, apparently, with a mycology textbook at 4yo, and then eagerly devouring more of the same, and books on plant chemistry, botany and herbal medicine.

Things just went on from there really. For an awfully long time now, I've been pretty sure that I was from the moment I was anything more than a ball of a few cells, destined to become a chemist and biologist, with a fair bit of an interest in both condensed matter physics and particle physics.

Do tell me what this book is called QV, so I can download it myself.

Will get the title later.  It's almost a Young Adult book, but not that bad.  It was in the adult mystery section with his other books.  Not much chemistry so I wouldn't recommend splashing a lot of money on it, just such an odd combination.

I'd love to give it a read all the same QV.

And you are forgetting something m'ilady. I will most likely be able to get myself a copy of the book for no cost, courtesy of library genesis. LibGen is blocked off at the ISP level due to a court order forcing them to deny access to UK ISP customers. I can however get around that easily by using TOR and entry/exit nodes not based in the UK. So all I'll have to do is to get on LibGen and search, chances are the book will be there. And then pick a copy and download it, unzip if need be and read it in .PDF format.

It sounds like a book I'd very much enjoy reading.

It's As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley.  There isn't a whole lot of chemistry and it is probably for the teenagerette rather than mature readers.  The writing style is simple, but entertaining.

Thanks, I'll give it a search on LibGen and download a copy, assuming someone has uploaded it, which given their database, someone likely has.

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.
