“How had I only just learned that happiness and fulfillment were entirely distinct things?”  ~The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

That’s only one of the many gems in this fascinating debut by Sarah Penner,  and I simply cannot thank her enough for joining me.

I was transported to 18th century England to a time where some women had no choice but to seek out revenge with the help of The Lost Apothecary. I could feel the cobblestone streets beneath my feet and was absolutely spellbound. We spoke about crime and forensics in the 1700s and a whole lot more.

Listeners, you’re in for a treat!

Readers? Even more than that… I’ll quote Sarah Penner with this synopsis of her debut:

“It’s perfect for readers who love:

-secret, hidden alleyways in London

-apothecaries, herbalists, witches, poison

-magical tinctures & spells

-antiquated ephemera like old maps/manuscripts

-unlikely friendships among women

-women exerting control in clever ways.”

So, yes.  Raise your hands, listen to the interview and order this book!
