The Lost Apothecary Book

Step into a hidden slice of history where a secret circle of women weaves tales of poison and payback. Welcome to The Lost Apothecary, by Sarah Penner, an eighteenth-century London shop where Nella, a shadowy apothecary, sells cleverly disguised poisons to women plotting against the men who oppress them. Her world is shaken when Eliza Fanning, a sharp-witted twelve-year-old, unexpectedly becomes part of her dark trade, setting off a chain of events felt for centuries. Fast forward 200 years, and historian Caroline Parcewell uncovers a mysterious apothecary vial in the Thames—opening the door to a long-buried story.
