The Lost Apothecary
by Sarah Penner
TW: dealt, poison, talks about sexual assault and adultly
This book was not like anything I’d read before and I really enjoyed it! I read this book in just a few days and loved the characters.
I heard the author speak at a virtual author event with Literature Lovers Night out with @valleybookseller and after hearing the plot, I knew I had to read this book ✨
The Lost Apothecary is a dual timeline book set in 1791 London and present day London. The 1791 timeline follows Nella (the apothecary) that secretly dispenses poisons to women to be given to men who has wronged them. Nella meets her newest customer Eliza who becomes her partner and they journey through some challenging days after that.
The other timeline is present day where aspiring historian Caroline is spending her tenth wedding anniversary alone because she recently found out her husband cheated on her. Caroline is mudlarking when she finds clues to the 1790s apothecary!
