A forgotten history. A secret network of women. A legacy of poison and revenge. Welcome to The Lost Apothecary...

Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of clientele. Women across the city whisper of a mysterious figure named Nella who sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. But the apothecary's fate is jeopardized when her newest patron, a precocious twelve-year-old, makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries.

Meanwhile in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons. When she stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London two hundred years ago, her life collides with the apothecary's in a stunning twist of fate--and not everyone will survive.

With crackling suspense, unforgettable characters and searing insight, The Lost Apothecary is a subversive and intoxicating debut novel of secrets, vengeance and the remarkable ways women can save each other despite the barrier of time.

Resenhas (1958)

5 (Perfeito)

Sem palavras

O livro me prendeu de uma forma inacreditável. Fazia tempo que não sentia a depressão de terminar um livro e ter que me despedir de seus personagens.

A escrita da Sarah é leve e dinâmica, sem defeitos. Me surpreende ser seu primeiro livro.

O enredo te prende, principalmente do meio para o final, te fazendo virar as páginas sem nem perceber.

Todas as personagens são muito cativantes e é fácil entender os motivos delas fazerem o que fazem.

Enfim, adorei e agora espero ansioso pela série de TV.
