Evening Book Club - "The Lost Apothecary"

Read and discuss "The Lost Apothecary" by Sarah Penner, a novel about a secret apothecary run by the mysterious Nella who was taught by her mother to be a healer.

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. Meanwhile in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell 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.
