The Lost Apothecary is an excellent debut and a fascinating story that tells story about women and how history can change you.
It’s a fascinating mix of past and present, of fascinating and complex women.
Even if some part of the story requires a bit of suspension of belief as I suppose it’s a bit hard to research long lost historical facts in a short time it’s a gripping, poignant and highly entertaining story that kept me hooked.
The book is well researched and was fascinated by the parts featuring Nella, the apothecary who sells poison to desperate woman. Catherine grew on me as I read about her changes and how she get back her life listening to herself and trying to do what she really wants.
The author is a talented storyteller and she delivers a story that kept me hooked and turning pages as fast as I could.
It’s her first book and I hope we will read soon other story as fascinating as this one.
I strongly recommend it.
Many thanks to Park Row for this ARC, all opinions are mine
