The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner is a dual-timeline novel that intertwines the lives of three women across centuries. In 1791 London, Nella runs a secret apothecary shop, dispensing poisons to women seeking vengeance against oppressive men. Her clandestine operation is jeopardized when twelve-year-old Eliza Fanning enters her life, leading to unforeseen consequences. In present-day London, Caroline Parcewell, reeling from her husband's betrayal, discovers an old apothecary vial, propelling her into a historical mystery that challenges her understanding of herself and the past. As the narratives converge, the novel explores themes of revenge, empowerment, and the enduring strength of women.
