The Apothecary's Daughter

I've never read anything of Julie Klassen before, I even didn't know her until I read this book and I am obsessed. Now I can't tell you how she writes as I've read the Dutch book and so mine is translated (by Lia van Aken, who did amazing work), but I love love love the story.

About the Book

As Lilly toils in her father’s apothecary, preparing herbs and remedies by rote, she is haunted by memories of her mother’s disappearance. Villagers whisper the tale, but her father refuses to discuss it. All the while, she dreams of the world beyond—of travel and adventure and romance.

When a relative offers to host her in London, Lilly discovers the pleasures and pitfalls of fashionable society and suitors, as well as clues about her mother. But will Lilly find what she is searching for—the truth of the past and a love for the future?

I, unfortunately, have it as an ebook, but it's on the list of being bought on paper. A couple of years back I had a six-month subscription for Elly's Choice, and that was each month getting a couple of ebooks, I downloaded everything and sometimes, you luckily find some beauties.
