The Lost Apothecary: A Novel
by Sarah Penner
The Lost Apothecary (8/17/2020)
I found The Lost Apothecary to be a real page turner. The two-story lines kept me wanting to jump ahead to find out what was about to happen. The women who sought help from Nella to solve their problems matched Caroline's problem with her husband. Interesting. They just wanted to get out of a bad situation. The characters were well developed, and I liked having older and younger characters central to the plot. Caroline represents many women who are underappreciated and unfulfilled. Loved It!
