My review:????
The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner is set both in present day and in 1791. Caroline is in the present day. She’s travelled to London on a ten year anniversary trip, except she’s without her husband, who she’s just caught cheating on her.
Nella is in 1791, an is an apothecary. She follows her mothers work of helping women, except she does it by providing poisons that they use to kill the men causing them problems.
Caroline starts to discover information about Nella’s apothecary, and spending time researching helps Caroline understand what she wants to do in her life.
This was a good story, with situations in the past and present echoing each other. It’s well written, and really interesting.
The Lost Apothecary was published on 2nd March 2021, and is available on Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
