In present day London, Caroline spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons after finding out about her husband’s infidelity. But Eliza makes a mistake that will have lasting consequences. Her newest patron, Eliza is a twelve-year-old, where an unexpected friendship develops. Nella sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. One timeline is set in eighteenth-century London where a secret apothecary shop caters to clientele with ulterior motives. This is also a great one for book clubs and that’s why I included it in my must-read book club picks list for 2021. The storyline is so original and I really enjoyed the mystery components-plus this features a gorgeous cover. The Lost Apothecary is a dual timeline story set in both the 1700s and present day London. And while I love WWII historical fiction stories, there is something special about novels that take place in other time periods. Historical fiction is such a great genre.
