ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Lost Apothecary” by Sarah Penner is a historical mystery that weaves together the stories of two women across centuries. In 18th-century London, Nella, a secretive apothecary, crafts poisons to help women escape abusive relationships. One day, a young girl named Eliza seeks Nella's help, setting off a dangerous and morally complex chain of events. In the present day, Caroline, a historian, stumbles upon Nella’s legacy while exploring London’s hidden past. As Caroline uncovers Nella’s story, themes of female empowerment, solidarity, and revenge emerge, exploring how women navigate betrayal and fight for justice in oppressive times.
