Sarah Penner - The Lost Apothecary

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual clientele.

In 1791 London, Nella runs a hidden apothecary shop with a dangerous specialty: dispensing poisons to women seeking freedom from the men who have wronged them. Her carefully guarded world begins to unravel when a young girl named Eliza arrives at her door, setting off a chain of events with consequences that will echo through the centuries.

In present-day London, Caroline Parcewell is struggling with the aftermath of a personal betrayal when she discovers a mysterious artifact along the River Thames. Her curiosity leads her into an investigation of the city's forgotten history—and toward the secrets of the lost apothecary.

Told across two timelines, The Lost Apothecary is an atmospheric novel of secrets, betrayal, female friendship, and the enduring power of women reclaiming their own stories.

Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction, intriguing mysteries, and stories with a touch of darkness.
